I sent UCLA an email, and they replied, "We expect review of applications to be completed by end of February 2019. All applicants will be notified of their status after the start of March 2019."

CME

Applied for gravity theory/quantum CM theory. 3+ years of research (3+ years CM/fluid dynamics experiment, 2+ years theoretical GR, 1 REU in quantum CMT), 2 APS talks, 2 publications in progress (but not in time for the application).

Weak pGRE, strong GPA, strong LORs, strong research, one publication

Was notified through email to check their website. Applied to Hep-Ex. Doing my master's in a top Canadian school. Had three projects during my master's program and 3 during my undergraduate. Good luck to those who got in.

CMT. Got an email to check website.

Does anyone know when will USC send out their acceptances? Last year they had sent it on 8th-9th Feb but I have received no correspondence from them so far.

Application website doesn't show the update. It just shows what documents are received. Again, is there anyone who hasn't received the response yet while there is no update?

UC Berkeley’s online application portal

The online application portal: https://gradapp.berkeley.edu/apply/

Which website do you mean?

To the poster below. Did you check their website? I also didn’t get any email from them but when I opened the website I saw the rejection letter.

Is there anyone who hasn't received the response from Berkeley?

Advice for hep-th people: go to Europe. This is my second year applying for PhDs in the US and will probably get rejected everywhere. There just aren't that many places in the US for people who do hep-th (especially gravity). But Europe is killin' it and has a lot more good options (also, the applications are free!).
