Astro admission news 2009

  • This has become our largest and most active forum because the physics GRE is just one aspect of getting accepted into a graduate physics program.
  • There are applications, personal statements, letters of recommendation, visiting schools, anxiety of waiting for acceptances, deciding between schools, finding out where others are going, etc.

Please inform others about the admission/rejection news you will/have receive/d from different Astronomy graduate programs in 2009.

I (and some others in this forum) received an admission from UT Austin two days ago.

I guess its title is more precise and have the date on it; so probably easier to find for others.

I dunno why universities announce the astronomy results earlier than physics. even in schools that programs are joint and with the same deadline.

less applicants, therefore, less work, therefore, quicker answers, simple as that

I am sure Garching is a great place for research. But I am not sure about their PhD program(in comparison to top US schools). Their program is only for 3 years and if you look at former students, they remain there for their post doc in the best cases. In addition the salary is not that much(given the fact Munich is an expensive city)

that depends where in Munich you live (I have worked at the MPI for Physics)... I know people who got housing with sub-300 euro rent. I dunno i find the environment a bit more relaxed and conducive to research because you might not have to teach.

Hey dude,

you are just confusing everybody by starting a new thread about astronomy admissions. Cease and desist, otherwise even Jan Oort will not help you.

Thankfully, Gerard Kuiper is much more forgiving.

Keep the thread, it has a better title.

Just to share some info:
based on the last year data(this and this), the first news from Arizona and Princeton were coming around early Feb(actually, Arizona people told me I should expect it by the end of Jan, this year) and the first results from Harvard around the midst of Feb.

I applied to IMPRS Heidelberg, but it's not very high on my list at this point (I would've applied to Garching too, but was thinking the deadline was Dec. 15th and not the 1st). Heidelberg is a very nice city, and the grad students seemed happy, but my thoughts on the IMPRS program after I visited there this summer were that 1. a degree in 3 years seems really short, 2. the stipend isn't much, 3. I wouldn't want to have my research advisor set in stone from the moment I started, and 4. I think it's harder to get a US postdoc after finishing (although I guess everything depends on who you work with). I've heard Garching is pretty boring from people who have been there though; not close enough to Munich to go there regularly.

I also applied for IMPRS but for the Garching one and I think they were accepting applications even by the end of last year!
Anyway I have the same concerns that you mentioned about IMPRS except I dont have any problem to work with someone I like, form the first day.
As you said their program is only for 3 years and you can imagine how big is the difference between a 4 or 5 years program and this 3 years one; most of PhD students who finished their PhD work with 4-5 first author papers in normal 4-5 years programs, publish 3-4 of them in the last one or two years of their work which makes the 4th and 5th years very important, if you are going to get a good post doc.
I followed the passed IMPRS students and found out they usually were able to stay in Garching in the best cases(probably to finish their works!)
I have also a few friends there, whom are not satisfied with the payment!

I worked that MPI in Munich itself and they never complained about the pay, where Munich is way more expensive than Heidelberg. People always seem to forget with these programs that people are supposed to have a Masters when they enter, not a Bachelor as in the US. This means the two years in the US you typically spend for taking classes and getting your masters have to be deducted from the time. It also says that if you enter with a Bachelor you will need to get a Masters first, so your funding might be a bit stretched.

I am not sure why people say Garching is so far out. All natural sciences and engineer for the TUM, the IPP, MPI Astrophysics, and MPI Quantum Optics are in Garching and the U6 takes you straight into the city, like literally into the city center. I knew people that commuted from the other end of city every day to work. This is not the US. The train ride takes maybe 30 minutes tops (into the city) and maybe 20 to the part of town where the bars are. There is nothing really to complain about, when it comes to location.

Good point about the master degree.
But still I think there is a big difference between 3 years program and 4-5 years program. Assuming the years you are working on your thesis research is 3 years in both cases, and you begin a totally different thing from you master work with someone else, there is still a big difference between beginning your work in the same environment as you did your master or going to a place which is totally new!
But in reality, in US graduate programs, lots of people simply continue their master work with the same adviser which is even better!

I dont have anything to say about the living costs and other things related to Munich as a city because I have not lived there! I just talked to some of my friends in the program and they told me the usual salary is less than for example what is usual in the Netherlands(by around 30%) and the costs are almost the same.

Just heard from IMPRS Heidelberg; I have to visit in a few weeks for interviews. Even though I'm somewhat concerned about the length of program, post-doc prospects, and having an advisor going in, my present advisor pointed out that I may meet people who I can collaborate with later, even if I don't end up going there. I'd at least like to spend a year in Germany at some point...

I dont think they are going to ask you the answer of some detailed scientific problems. I think the best thing to do is to be yourself and present your background and interests good enough to make your case bold.

BTW, it seems IMPRS-Garching is organizing its workshop-interview on 2-4 March, this year ;)

I've heard the Santa Cruz interview is to make sure you're competent before they make the final decisions (both scientifically and socially). They've apparently had people they've accepted and then really regretted the decision upon meeting them in person, so this is supposed to cut down on such situations.

No, they want to make sure you're affable and not withdrawn and/or a stereotypical socially inept physicist. They want to be sure they can work with you over the next several years.

No reason to be nervous, it went great, really like a conversation, not like a formal scary interview.

You can't use the same lines, that would be plagiarism. Unless the Princeton dude allows you to do that, it is all a game after all, just make sure you don't get caught.

I had the same experience as Nathan with Santa Cruz; had to talk about my research (and let them talk about it), ask a few questions about the program, and clarify a few details in my application. Not at all scary. I couldn't get the skype video to work so that I could see them, so it was a rather interesting conversation with my computer screen.

I am also done with UCSC interview. They told me the final results would be known by one week or so.
No matter what would be the result, I really enjoyed it. I think other schools should do the same.

In Europe its a part of usual procedure to accept PhD students. They also ask for a short presentation in addition to a general interview. But as far as I know it is not common in US, though some schools are doing that. Especially for international students to make sure they have the minimum of communication abilities.
