Had to secure funding through another department, but luckily found the exact research area I'm interested in.

I emailed them asking for an update and they said I am still under review. So anyone have any info or like whats up with this year.

7 rejections out of 8.

Graduate Director emailed me to let me know that I am off the waitlist and recommended for graduation as part of the C2-THE-P2 program. A few hours later, I got my acceptance. I already accepted an offer before this, so I declined their offer. Applied for for HEP-Ex: 1 year of HEP-ex research, presented at two conferences, won a best poster award at one. 1.5 years of QIS research, 1 REU in Astro.

if you also got rejected from everywhere im sending you 5 big booms

Accepted off of waitlist

Did anyone else get the sad rejection wave of UCI, UC Davis, and UCSB all in one day? Idk why the admissions committees decided to team up and send out their decisions on the same day and make it three times as painful :(

The last one on this cycle, 8/8 rejection lmfao

Such a stupid administration! I'm not going to suggest others to apply there. Waste of my 155+25 USD and time to make the SoP.

ApJ paper in prep. Applied for PhD program (and their funding) with astroparticle physics advisors, was deferred to Master's program (with no funding offers) and assigned the graduate program director as my "initial advisor" (nanoscience research). Sorry on the late notifications, but I emailed the director to inquire about funding and haven't heard anything. I saw there was a physics PhD rejection so I'm wondering if anyone else got deferred and if there might be a pathway to a MTU PhD. I'm still waiting to hear back from post-baccs and funded master's so my decision is still pending
