Yale is astronomy not physicsconfused_p wrote:Cornell, I have not heard from them.
Yale -- where the hell did you check your status? I checked the place where i have sent in my application. It just says your application is complete and nothing more. I am just crossing my fingers for too long.
I hate to wait and wait with no aye or ney. I wish one comes fast from 'em all.
Not that I have a choice, but, I would easily choose Cornell over MIT/Harvard for instance (for HEP Theory). You just need to take a look at the no. of faculty + research interests of the faculty members as opposed to MIT/Harvard and Cornell seems to be the best in HEP theory (Ann Arbor is probably as good).valentino wrote:Why is cornell a good school anyway? Why is it considered to be among the top (is it really?), even chosen by others over some of the more prestigious programs?
Glad to hear that!!! ^o^grae313 wrote: Did I mention everyone is super friendly here?!
If you can't tell, I love Cornell and I'm having a great time here!![]()
I'm sorry, but the committee has decided to deny your acceptance to our
Physics graduate program at Duke. Your application was good, but not up
to the same standards as many of the other 211 applications we received.
We were only given 14 - 16 positions for new graduate students which
limited the committee's decision to only a few acceptances.

yes but yale has good arts programs! They should have told us how many of them was physics app. Yale is good but not that good.Theoretischer wrote:In the rejection it said over 9500 applicants to the Arts and Sciences? They probably accept 500 a year at most? There has to be a lot of rejections with a ratio like that.
Thanks for letting me know that. I was thinking Yale was my level school all this time. Not so much - I guess.tmc wrote:thegradcafe has a few Yale acceptances
