Unofficial acceptance. Several related research experience. Was notified by POI. Did not approach POI before applying.

Ignore waitlist. Does anyone have any idea how UC Davis is gonna do the review without the resume and other materials. All they require is a very short SOP + LOR + transcripts.

Ignore waitlist. Has anyone applying to hep-th or mathematical physics heard anything from UCSB? I see a lot of posts for CMX but not many other fields so far.

CMX. Received an email to check the portal.

Emailed by PI for a quick zoom meeting and he told me I was accepted! Official decision to come in a week or so.

Astrophysics subfield. Call from potential PI, email with further details forthcoming.

Email to check portal. Hep-Ex (Dark Matter, Neutrinos). Also got in last year, and tried to defer. Dept of Physics wanted to grant my deferral, but the grad division denied the deferral application. Honors degree from top-ranked public school. 1 summer REU in dark matter physics, 2 years undergrad research in liquid xenon physics, currently post-bacc at Los Alamos working on DUNE.

Emailed POI, replied all interviews requests were already sent

CMX. Interview by POI (who is also on AdCom)

CMX. Email from a POI.

Unofficial acceptance. Had minimal contact with PI who replied with brief email encouraging me to apply. Big state school- excellent physics program. 2 semesters unrelated research (env. Engineering), 1 summer + 2 semesters geophysics research. 1 summer hep ex research. Current interdisciplinary senior thesis in nuclear astro/planetary science. 1 pub in prep. Physics TA for 2 semesters. Dept. and school scholarships. Applied for nuclear astro/neutrinos.

CMT

Gravity theory, hep-th and cmt Very good rec letter Many grad classes 3 astro research, 1 AMO experiment research, 1 gravity theory research No pub

Unofficial acceptance. I was notified that I am being recommended to the Office of Graduate Division by the physics department at 11:30am EST on 1/13/22. Best of luck to all the applicants!
