Decision Dates 2017
Re: Decision Dates 2017
Does anyone know anything about Yale physics yet? I'm hoping they'll come to the rescue for me, as I have only heard positive news from UW Physics so far!
Also, are Johns Hopkins, UPenn, Harvard, and Princeton all done with their admissions? I was somewhat surprised not to hear from either Hopkins or Penn...
This admissions season has certainly been a bit of a disappointment for me so far..
I'm happy for everyone who has heard lots of great news! Just hoping to get some of my own soon.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
I am also waiting to hear from Stony Brook and Brown. I've seen people get accepted to Stony Brook as late as this Friday so I hope they're not done.bunnysid wrote:Stony Brook, Brown and Minnesota done. Anyone knows????
Re: Decision Dates 2017
The holiday is President's Day, which is based off Washington's birthday (but not the exact day because it's always a Monday--his birthday is 22 Feb) but also commonly celebrates Lincoln and other Presidents as well. This year the holiday is 20 Feb, not this Monday but next.HydrogenAndTime wrote:Wait, Monday is a holiday? Lincoln's birthday is a thing? I go to school in the states and did not know that that's a thing... Is it actually?HenryB wrote:It is weekend and Monday is Lincoln's birthday observed in US. So we shouldn't expect anything until Tuesday?
Re: Decision Dates 2017
Same with Minnesota. They also sent offers till Thursday. Let's hope for the best.Tacosbeforevatos wrote:I am also waiting to hear from Stony Brook and Brown.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
Has anyone heard back from Harvard Physics as an experiment applicant? I am seeing some acceptances and rejections from Harvard physics, but most of them seem to be theorists.
I applied for HEP-ex and observational cosmology and have not heard back yet. I am kind of assuming that I got rejected at this point, but wasn't so sure because I've seen mostly theory applicants only.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
Still haven't heard anything from Brown myself. With only three acceptances on Grad Cafe, surely they aren't done yet?Tacosbeforevatos wrote:I am also waiting to hear from Stony Brook and Brown.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
Rejected from U of Rochester.
Re: Decision Dates 2017
When do you think would be reasonable to ask for admission status if I haven't received any email from UIUC or CU Boulder ... beginning of March?

Re: Decision Dates 2017
I reached out to the schools I didn't hear back from last week. I think you can make a gentle query asking when applicants should be expecting to hear back.eddie.ss wrote:When do you think would be reasonable to ask for admission status if I haven't received any email from UIUC or CU Boulder ... beginning of March?

I kinda expected news today/tomorrow based on last year.
Re: Decision Dates 2017
I didn't contact them but a friend did. Apparently they started their review process a little later than usual this year. He said that it should be out in maybe two weeks or earlier.codidley wrote:Did you hear back from Vandy on a time frame for results?cosmosis wrote:I reached out to the schools I didn't hear back from last week.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
Got an email from University of Illinois—Urbana-Champaign at 12:52am saying I was accepted. They are offering a stipend of $22,264 for the 11 months.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
I don't think they are done with the admission offers. Given the fact that the gradcafe was full of 'accepted' notification from MIT and Stanford on the last Friday, I expect to see the same amount of postings regarding Harvard on gradcafe if they had really sent out all the decisions, which I don't think I am seeing now.HydrogenAndTime wrote:Has anyone heard back from Harvard Physics as an experiment applicant?

And I am also in the same situation like you
Re: Decision Dates 2017
Anyone here heard from Harvard Applied Physics? There is a waitlist up on gradcafe but nothing else.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
Congratulations, badgalriri! I guess not much hope for me, since they sent out waitlists too.
Re: Decision Dates 2017
I haven't heard from Cornell yet. It appears from the gradcafe that they rejected a lot of people today. I am getting super nervous. Anyone has an explanation ?

Re: Decision Dates 2017
I noticed that most rejections today were CME. There were in addition a hep-th rejection and a CME acceptance. So, based on this, I would surmise their acceptances aren't yet over. I would guess they're more or less proceeding by subfield? Not sure really, I'm as nervous as you are.aewais13 wrote:I haven't heard from Cornell yet.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
Rejection today from Caltech (Planetary Science). Standard email - limited space, small percentage admitted, etc.
Re: Decision Dates 2017
Found one waitlist notification from Minnesota on gradcafe. My application status says "Awaiting Program Decision". Anyone got any changes to their status for Minnesota?
Re: Decision Dates 2017
Have anyone heard from Upenn and Brown?

Got my official offer from Princeton today and got accepted to MIT for nuclear engineering 15 minutes later. It's been a good morning.

Heard from MIT Nuclear Science and Engineering (Plasma Physics). Nothing from Princeton though . On Grad Cafe it looks like in the past years they have done two waves and rejections come out at the same time as acceptances so I still have hope.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
I just interviewed with UW Astronomy; they said acceptances would start going out next week (in a few waves) aiming for a class size of ~5.
Re: Decision Dates 2017
Got an offer from Rutgers

Just got some good news from Rutgers! Excited for this one!
Re: Decision Dates 2017
Got an email saying I was accepted to Penn State. They are offering $28,925 for the first year, plus $1000 for research scholarship if I submit an application for an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship in the fall.
Re: Decision Dates 2017
Has anyone here received a JQI fellowship from Maryland? There were lots of them last year, as seen from grad cafe, but I have not seen anyone this year.

Any news from Umass Amherst astronomy? I've only seen one acceptance on gradcafe like a week after the deadline..

Any word from MIT EAPS Planetary Science?
Re: Decision Dates 2017
I just got an email from Brown inviting me to some minority admitted grad student visit day (I'm a domestic hispanic applicant), but I haven't yet received any official or unofficial email from the physics department or any professors. Here is the relevant part of the text of the email I received:
Did anyone else get this email?On Monday, March 20, Brown Graduate School will host newly accepted students who are members of historically underrepresented groups for a free daylong event. Won't you join us?

Princeton is sending out rejections. Ok I guess I'll have to hold my breath until April 15th/16th for Harvard. Still hoping for the best.

I'll be completely honest. They're very much done. They had 671 applicants, and accepted + waitlisted 67.ivorchen wrote:Is there any hope in waiting for Harvard? I thought they are done with waitlistscorebake wrote:Still waiting on Harvard and Berkeley...any day now

Re: Decision Dates 2017
Still waiting on Harvard & Berkeley physics too lol
I am assuming I got rejected from Harvard at this point. With that said, it does seem to be the case that Harvard Physics sent out quite a bit of offers already, but most of the acceptances/rejections I have seen were theorists. Does anyone know of any experiment (especially HEP-ex) candidates who heard back from Harvard?
As far as I know, Berkeley physics has been utterly quiet.

Re: Decision Dates 2017
Berkeley had most of their acceptances in late Feb - early March last year, it seems like they're going down the same path this year.
