Organic. I assume waitlist then rejection because of how late but who knows

I just received the email saying I'm still on the waitlist and this sentence really make me confused:" As you consider your options for next year, you should be aware that, unfortunately, it is unlikely that we will be able to offer you a place in our next entering class." anyone know what it means? Is it saying I cannot apply for this program next year even if I being rejected this year?

Accepted the offer

Email to check portal.

I don't feel sad because I have got admits from a couple of better universities. But this was one of my safe schools. I wonder whether admission into PhD Physics has become too competitive this year. Especially if you are not from CME (I am from CME). Applicants next year must be super-conservative while applying. And I also wonder why this is so. Physics has recently been suffering from a dearth of funds but it seems as if we have become poorer all of a sudden.

Bummed, but expected given the delay in response.

Emailed about status change, generic rejection. nucl-th

I have rejected their offer. Best of luck for the waitlisted.

I've just declined it. Good luck to those on the waitlist!

Tried to contact them for my decision weeks ahead of time because I had other offers to decide on. Beyond angry that they waited until the end of March to tell me that I got rejected after being praised by the faculty.
