@physicsdude

nobody is stalking you buddy-- lets just chill out a bit. grae313 meant no harm, and i highly doubt anybody else who posts here does either.

i had always thought that astro was much more relaxed than physics and a whole lot less pretentious. Its why I picked astro grad schools over physics. So lets live up to that and calm down! 8)

damn. I hate you guys.

But seriously, congrats. I stared my phone down all day to no avail. I imagine that if I didn't hear from them today, I won't be hearing from them until that dreaded little envelope shows up in my mailbox. Boo hiss.

I was accepted to Boston University. It feels much better to be accepted than rejected. :lol:

For anyone who's waiting on Harvard still, they say they're done making offers. :evil:

For anyone who got into Hopkins, I go there currently (not in astro), but if you have any questions about Hopkins in general, or Baltimore, let me know.

KB,

Do you mean Harvard astro, or Harvard physics, or both?

Only Astro as far as I know

I've heard from penn state, hawaii, berkeley, arizona, texas, and colorado. Still waiting on santa cruz, wisconsin, mit, cornell, and chicago. All astro, and I got into hawaii which is one of my top choices, so I'll prolly be going there.

Admiralewd: Where did you get in? Are you visiting Hawaii? I got in there too and it's definitely up there for me as well. Who doesn't want to live in Hawaii for 5 or 6 years? 8)

Has anyone heard a peep from Chicago astro?

I was wondering about Chicago too. Also Columbia and Santa Cruz too. I'd guess they'd say something before March 15th right?

My friend heard from Chicago about 3 weeks ago. The visit weekend is in April so that leads me to believe that they're doing a second round soonish.

KB: I got in hawaii, penn state, and texas. Rejected from Berkeley and Arizona, also just heard from colorado and a rejection there. Not surprising really, berkeley is probably out of my league and I still am unsure if arizona got all my materials in spite of several phone calls! Colorado surprised me a little, I even talked to professors there and several sounded great to work with.
I'm visiting hawaii in march, sits nicely with my spring break. Just a shame I live so so far away, meaning 10-15 hour flight, 5-6 hour time zone changes, and upwards of $1000 for a round trip. But yea, so far it probably would've been one of my top choices even assuming I got in everywhere, fantastic place to live, one of the top astronomy programs, and jeze... HAWAII!

Anyone hear from UCLA astronomy? Someone reported a reject which was available through the website, anyone receive any admits?

I'm getting tired of wading through all of the physics grad school posts for news on Astronomy/Astrophysics schools.

I've heard so far from Boulder, Arizona and Hawaii
I'm just starting the process of investigating APS at CU Boulder to see if I can juggle a career and grad school at the same time, as well as getting back into academia after a *very* long time away (http://www.physicsgre.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1366).

Boulder is beautiful, as is Hawaii. I had a chance to live on Maui for a year doing research.
