Admission to UCSD. Now I have choices. UCSD and UCSC. Which one is better for astroparticle physics (dark matter/ dark energy/inflation)?
Re: Acceptance 2009.... Share your joy!
Got a UCLA admission today. Woohoo!
Unfortunately, I was also rejected by MIT Oh well, life goes on. It's looking like I applied a little too high

Well it would have been by snail mail but i emailed yesterday to check on my status and the grad secretary wrote back today saying theyd reviewed my application and are recommending my admission to the graduate school and just said that more information was in the mail.

Re: Acceptance 2009.... Share your joy!
Got a call from the Colorado School of Mines this morning. I assume it's an acceptance because they said I was top on their list and they want me to visit, but he did not use the word "accepted" in the conversation. It's a small department and it seemed like they wanted to insure their offers were given to people who would most likely attend...

@ elzoido238: Tim Ohno called me.
Re: Acceptance 2009.... Share your joy!
Prof Oh-no sounds like someone who'd be better giving rejections.Synthesize wrote:Tim Ohno called me.
Congrats though!

Big discovery! Guess every university should hire some "Oh No" in this season
Re: Acceptance 2009.... Share your joy!
Was accepted to Case Western Reserve University physics last week, via email. Yay, glad we settled that!
I'm also on about seven wait lists judging by the dates given by others on this forum. However I'm currently not caring as I'm doing my trip around the world before grad school (link to my blog for those interested in procrastinating) and it's kind of hard to care about grad school when you're in Cambodia.

Thanks Secander2, and likewise! I am extremely excited, although I would imagine that no one on this forum is half as excited as you are. If I had your offers, I would be a writhing mass of ejaculation right now!!!

I GOT IN SOMEWHERE!!!! I didn't think it would happen - I'm accepted via email from UW-Milwaukee!!!!
I will be a physics graduate student after all... and I'm doing gravity, so to all those people who say people with bad GRE scores you can't do theory, take that!!

Some of your recent posts made me fear for the general public.

My home town, lived there for 18 years, and back and forth between Madison for the last 4. I don't know much about the school, but if you have questions about the city send me a PM.mhazelm wrote:I GOT IN SOMEWHERE!!!! I didn't think it would happen - I'm accepted via email from UW-Milwaukee!!!!

Congrats mhazelm!!! That's freaking awesome!!!
@elzoido238, that's really great! And yes, you're right, I'm quite excited, especially since I didn't have much of a chance with top schools with my application last year. In fact I'll be meeting with a professor soon to learn about his department: the irony is that when I talked to the same professor during the admissions process last year, he more or less told me that I had little chance of being able to go to his school.

Wow, that must feel pretty good. How did you improve your application in that extra year? GPA boost and PGRE boost? I imagine with a PGRE of 950+ you're bound to end up somewhere nice (as a domestic). Good job!secander2! wrote:Congrats mhazelm!!! That's freaking awesome!!!

Re: Acceptance 2009.... Share your joy!
@Maxwells_Demon, Thanks! Well, I studies for and retook the PGRE. Also, I landed a Fulbright to do a year of research at CERN. I already had a strong GPA so that didn't change much. I think that in general, a domestic with a high PGRE, GPA, and strong research will have a very good shot at most top schools, and my year-off allowed me to fix those two places where I was a bit lacking.

Got an offer from Maryland with a departmental fellowship of $26k. I don't know much about this school, anyone have suggestions?

Yes, all that stuff is there on gradcafe. You go to result search and use a string like :sonwon wrote: I mean another web site that people talk about the date in table and tell about when they got accept and who they are, international or domestic or inter but study ba in US.
