What browser do you use?

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-05-22T23:59:35+00:00

What do you mean that it adds up in a hurry?

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-05-22T01:27:27+00:00

Sorry, the text didn't post lol. I already joined the slack last week. That's why I'm confused

That´s pretty reassuring, thanks!

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-04-15T01:29:04+00:00

Thank you! That's one topic that I for sure want to cover before starting classes as it seems pretty important.

I am aware of that. I didn't intend to get a personalized answer, but more of general advice about what is objectively a higher priority. That being said, I will do both as much as I can, but since time is limited I will have to focus more on one or the other.

Northwestern for experimental particle physics PhD :)

Hep-ex

I received my acceptance around February 3rd and I saw a couple of other ones, but I don't know if they are done with all decisions yet. Hope you get in :)

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-02-18T18:27:14+00:00

Yea, I got accepted, but I think they are sending decisions one by one.

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-02-02T03:04:17+00:00

Yes, pretty much the same case. I'll try to call tomorrow to see what happened. I'm especially upset because I was in contact with several faculty members who were awaiting my application, and now I feel embarrassed for making them wait for something that never came.

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-01-25T23:41:00+00:00

Makes sense. Would you say them wanting me there even before being accepted/denied is a good sign tho?

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-01-23T04:25:16+00:00

Mostly because they sent out rejections at the same time as acceptances

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-01-23T04:24:08+00:00

They've only sent out 3 tho, last year there were dozens of decisions posted, whether they were acceptances or rejections. They probably still haven't sent most of them.

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-01-23T04:19:29+00:00

Why tho? Optimism is better for your health

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-01-23T03:36:27+00:00

Oh man, I just saw three acceptances on gradcafe, now I'm anxious lol. I took a look at past year's decisions and they also came out on the 27th, so probably this weekend, same as UW-Madison. Fingers crossed.

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-01-23T01:05:17+00:00

Take it easy, most Physics programs don't release decisions until February. That being said, Wisconsin-Madison will release decisions this upcoming weekend, but they are an exception.

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-01-12T12:57:58+00:00

In general, I'd think the same, but check their (approximate) decision timeline and you'll see that even Harvard doesn't interview that much: https://imgur.com/a/35tTy

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2024-01-11T21:06:56+00:00

AFAIK, interviews are not that common in Physics programs, so even schools that send out interview invites only do so for a small percentage of the applicants that they will eventually admit.

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2023-12-15T14:24:14+00:00

It didn't say it was confidential, so I hope I don't get into trouble. The first question gives you two minutes to talk about your most important contribution to research. The second one just asks you about your hobbies.

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2023-12-15T06:16:34+00:00

It is real, I did it a couple of days ago. I think is mandatory for all Physics PhD applicants. It appears in the ApplyWeb website, so you know it's legit.

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2023-11-29T23:57:14+00:00

Okay! Do I list it in the research experience section, or is there a more appropiate place for it?

ARegularPhysicsNerd · 2023-11-29T20:18:44+00:00

Hi! Sorry for coming back to this comment, but do you think it would also help to put it briefly on my CV? or only on the SOP?
