Good luck with the other applications.. Did you get an email?ayushya wrote:Yes.
Thanks, and good luck to you too. I saw the rejection when I was checking my application status. No email.hamadahoda007 wrote:Good luck with the other applications.. Did you get an email?ayushya wrote:Yes.
UChicago Physics Department has a rolling admission system. Can it be the reason for the early results?pichinko wrote:Is it just me or does it seem a little early to be doing a round of rejections? It's not even February! I wonder if there were too many applicants this year?
Out of curiosity, is this the online application page where it says "status of application" along with whether or not Chicago has received your materials? i.e., where it originally just says "status: submitted?" I've been checking this now and it has remained as "submitted."ayushya wrote:Thanks, and good luck to you too. I saw the rejection when I was checking my application status.

I asked the physics dpt admissions officer via email yesterday. She replied, 'Your application has been submitted to the faculty members to review. Once a decision has been made on your application you will be notified via email.'
Now at least I know I am not yet rejected. (at least officially)
So we shall just relax and wait.
Thanks! Happily I got an email on Friday telling me to check the webpage and my status was updated as accepted! Good luck to those waiting! From the space between acceptances I've seen on gradcafe I'm sure they will be sending out a number more in the days to come.Arbitrary wrote:cedricyu803 wrote:Me too.

Indeed catharsis, it is that page that should eventually show your official admission decision. I've been notified of my acceptance informally by e-mail more than two weeks ago, but only yesterday I saw my formal letter of acceptance (with the financial package) on that webpage.
Thanks. I just heard back from the dpt officer: "... For applicants who would like to apply again I always suggest to try and gain additional research experience in between application periods so that you have something new to report the following year."TomServo wrote:I think you can ask, but they are busy and giving you an answer may not be a high priority. I'd hate to get your hopes up, but the graduate coordinator at my school said a student who was rejected emailed asking for an explanation, and they reconsidered and admitted him. That's probably really rare though. Don't get your hopes up, but feel free to ask. What are they going to do?
You've probably been unofficially 'waitlisted.' Programs can't accept every student they want right away because they don't have enough spots. So by waitlisted I mean that they are probably waiting to give you a decision until they see who accepts the offers already given out. If enough of the admitted students turn down the offers, they will give out acceptances to the students they had on hold.poel5279 wrote:It seems like people either got accepted to Cornell and UC Davis or were rejected already.
I have not heard from them at all, any idea why?
This is probably true of Cornell, but Davis has been struggling with matching transcripts to applications...if you received that email about a week and half ago about it then they are probably yet to make a decision on your application. I'm in the same position.XC423 wrote:You've probably been unofficially 'waitlisted.' Programs can't accept every student they want right away because they don't have enough spots.

I did not receive any email from Davis about how they are struggling with transcript matching...actrask wrote:This is probably true of Cornell, but Davis has been struggling with matching transcripts to applications...if you received that email about a week and half ago about it then they are probably yet to make a decision on your application.
