"We are at the stage where we have already made our initial round of offers and are waiting for their responses. Since you are not in that initial pool your application is waitlisted. I can't tell you right now if you will ultimately receive an offer from us unfortunately, but just that your application is still under active consideration." >> Subfield: Ex-Biophysics, what are my chances ?

Finally.

email to check website, interviewed last month

Happy to get in!!

Email to check portal. Particle experiment. Was just grousing to my PI this morning about admissions, seems I was mistaken :)

TTPB: where/when did you hear that? I just got my acceptance earlier this week and only have the info from the status change acceptance on the application portal, which pretty much just said I was accepted given that I submit my degree/transcript after this semester, but haven't heard anything else.

TTPB sorry, 3/1was the due date. I was informed " We encourage you to attend our virtual Visit Day for prospective graduate students on March 31st and April 1st. The RSVP deadline is March 1st".

TTPB: was that on your acceptance letter on the portal, or have you been contacted separately via email or something with funding/visit details?

TTPB: What virtual visit is that? According my admit letter, virtual prospective grad day is March 31st and April 1st and according to the UCSB website.

TTPB yes I am offered with full funding and the vitrual meeting day is 3/1

Open day on 18th Feb virtual as told by POI

Anyone who got an acceptance from UCSB heard anything about funding or a virtual visit day?
