Official letter from Stanford just now. (unofficial decision email was received Feb. 10th)

ivorchen · Post by **ivorchen** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 3:53 pm

Shall I wait on Cornell? No rejection, no acceptance. No response to my email. Any idea?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

official rejection from Harvard Physics. There goes the hope of spending my 20's in Boston.

Based on Gradcafe it looks like at least part of the UCLA physic dept. is sending out admits.

Here is the relevant part of the text of the email I received:

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?
Did anyone else get this email?
I am also an URM student and did not get that email. So maybe you'll hear good news soon.

Just reached out to the Diversity Dean organizing that event and she confirmed my acceptance

Also got rejected from Harvard

Is it just me or does it look like last year there were more responses on grad cafe?

astrohopefulpls · Post by **astrohopefulpls** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 8:32 pm

Has anyone heard from the Rutgers Astro group yet? It seems all the acceptances on here and TGC are just CME, HEPth, and Bio

Nope. But I did hear back from Harvard, which I then removed from the quote (hence the 'fixed').

Any official acceptances from Brown or Stony Brook recently? I emailed Minnesota asking about my application status they gave me the following reply:

"We hope to have all admissions decisions sent within the next week. We have been submitting them to the University, but as you can imagine we have an extensive amount of applicants so it takes some time. Thank you for your patience."

Is UCSB done?

I called them on Monday and they said they had sent out the majority of acceptances, but that I could contact POI to know about my particular application. Sent an email to the prof, no reply, so I'm assuming I'm rejected.

However, considering the wave of acceptance in Grad Cafe last year, it seems that more acceptance is coming. Is your POI referring to acceptance in a particular field or what?

No, I didn't speak to my POI. The graduate affairs administrative person on the phone told me most acceptances (for all fields) are out already, so the chances of getting admitted are low, but that I can ask my POI to make sure. I emailed my POI but haven't got a reply.

Same here, I have a feeling that today they are going to send all remaining decisions.

I got my unofficial acceptance from Brown yesterday and was told I would get the official acceptance in the next couple of days so I'd say there is still some hope

Let's hope for the best I haven't seen any rejections from Brown anywhere this year but I fear that most acceptances have been sent already.

hockeychamp19 · Post by **hockeychamp19** » Fri Feb 17, 2017 1:18 pm

Has anyone talked to a Yale Physics PI and know when they are going to release their decisions? Going crazy over here waiting - emailed with a PI and he said "middle of February" but I don't know anything beyond that.

I think there was one rejection posted on the profiles post

That was for applied maths

Some University of Chicago decisions appear to be updated on their website. I logged in and was able to see my decision.

And it's a rejection. Got rejected also from UW Madison. I lost any hope for a top school. What a beautiful day

Does anyone know how many acceptances and wait lists have been offered by the Columbia Astronomy program?

stronglycoupled · Post by **stronglycoupled** » Fri Feb 17, 2017 5:53 pm

Does anybody know if Caltech is done with their acceptances? I'm still waiting on Caltech and UCLA.

Haha I just thought they were taking a break. But yeah, it's reasonable that they're done I guess, since their program is very small. All right, thanks! All the best to those accepted.

Not sure if they are done but the UCLA astronomy open house is on 3/3 and 3/4 and the physics open house is on 3/9 and 3/10.

Anybody knows about Columbia? I've seen a couple acceptance almost a week ago, and then nothing else.

Berkeley Physics finally sending out decisions!

Aight, bring on the rejection letter, Berkeley!

Zopy · Post by **Zopy** » Fri Feb 17, 2017 11:15 pm

Heard some good news today from Brown and Florida, as well as from Cornell yesterday! Unfortunately I got a rejection from Princeton yesterday too, but that was on the upper end of my "reach" schools.

laserfloyd80 · Post by **laserfloyd80** » Fri Feb 17, 2017 11:46 pm

Acceptance from Hawaii Astronomy!

bunnysid · Post by **bunnysid** » Sat Feb 18, 2017 1:10 am

Heard nothing from Brown, Stony Brook and Minnesota till now. Taking Brown and Minnesota as rejects since going by the posts on gradcafe, Minnesota is now sending on waitlist and rejection notifications while I feel Brown is done. Hope for all dream schools gone up in smoke.

queenbee · Post by **queenbee** » Sat Feb 18, 2017 11:07 am

Heard from Hawaii Astronomy last night. Very unexpected--had heard nothing from them and wasn't even sure that all my recommenders submitted!

seaofpoppies · Post by **seaofpoppies** » Sun Feb 19, 2017 3:38 pm

Wait-listed at Princeton in CMT. Congrats to people who got in! Any of the admitted students likely to decline the offer?

Tacosbeforevatos · Post by **Tacosbeforevatos** » Mon Feb 20, 2017 7:50 pm

Has anyone been rejected from Ohio State Astronomy?

Not even sure they looked at my application since they hadn't matched my GRE scores until like a month after the deadline and my application status says "pending" -.-

TheTacoPrincess · Post by **TheTacoPrincess** » Mon Feb 20, 2017 8:51 pm

Any news on Brown, UCSB, or UC Davis? Should I be expecting more decisions soon?

bunnysid · Post by **bunnysid** » Mon Feb 20, 2017 10:14 pm

Got an official rejection from Minnesota today. 7 schools remaining not even heard a peep from them.

Me? Nope. Though I expect a rejection from Stony brook in the next few days based on last year's pattern...

For both Stony Brook and Brown rejection is on the cards for me

UC Davis made me an offer two weeks ago. I have already declined their offer so maybe there are a few more to go. Their open house is on 3/3 and 3/4. Good luck!

seaofpoppies · Post by **seaofpoppies** » Tue Feb 21, 2017 10:12 am

Does no response from Caltech mean a rejection, at this point? Has anyone contacted the grad office asking whether more offers will be made?

pppppphysics · Post by **pppppphysics** » Tue Feb 21, 2017 2:52 pm

Has anyone heard anything from Northwestern since a few people posted in late January?

FisicaLatina · Post by **FisicaLatina** » Tue Feb 21, 2017 3:03 pm

I saw on gradcafe that Princeton sent out rejections, acceptances, and at least one person listed they were waitlisted. I have gotten no status update from Princeton at all. Do I email to check my status and who exactly would i have to contact? I cannot find an email for Princeton Physics admissions.

ndrach · Post by **ndrach** » Tue Feb 21, 2017 5:48 pm

Not sure if anyone else here applied for the BMSE program at UCSB, but I just got my acceptance letter from them via email

feliperosso · Post by **feliperosso** » Tue Feb 21, 2017 6:05 pm

Waitlisted in NYU.
If anybody has been accepted but intends to go to another university, please let NYU know, so that we have a chance. Thank you =)
