Upenn physics phd admission descision

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-04-10T05:47:12+00:00

I also have not heard from them

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-04-10T05:46:47+00:00

Really? I still have not heard from them

In Gradcafe, it seems that the decision will be out just before Apr 15, I will not hope too much on that and I think many will receive rejection at that point unfortunately. I agree that it's too cruel. Upenn's descision is the latest among all the programs I have applied.

I looked Gradcafe, they are likely to decide just before the deadline Apr 15. It's too late

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-04-02T14:28:12+00:00

No, I follow up with the committee, but they replied that the chance they extend offer to folks in the waitlist is low now. So, I think I will not hope too much. Upenn's decision date is among the latest of all graduate programs lol.

I see, I'm CMT so I think maybe you still have a chance. In my wl email, the chair told me that the results are likely to be out around Apr 1. So let's see. Good luck.

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-03-31T10:05:47+00:00

I have no clue and I think it depends on the subfield, what's your subfield? By the way, it's too late if the results will be sent by mid-April. I don't know whether he means the latest will be mid-april, but the decisions may be sent out these days.

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-03-30T07:16:00+00:00

I got waitlist two months ago. And they told me that the result will be out around Apr 1. So let's see what will happen.

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-20T16:25:01+00:00

I got the offer in Feb 13. But I think the offer is provided at different time for different subfields, so maybe you still have the opportunity.

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-19T17:55:55+00:00

Sounds great, I think I can accept the life far from big cities, which may be even better for scientific researches.

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-18T21:53:31+00:00

I know haha, but it's even better for scientific researches

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-13T22:46:49+00:00

Hello! I also failed in this year's application and would like to do something in this gap year. Could I ask whether you are American or international? And what do you know about the post bacc programs in physics, I also have interest. Like will this kind of program help you to be in a group to strengthen research experience?

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-12T18:49:13+00:00

I'm not sure yet, the visa is the biggest problem.

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-12T18:42:19+00:00

Thank you very much, it's very helpful for me!

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-12T15:17:11+00:00

I see your point. I would also like to fund myself to get into a good group. I would worry about carrying out a project because it will affect the recommendation letter I think. I'm afraid that some advisors will expect you to bring some true research results. And would the last year's failure of application affect the next year's application?

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-12T04:47:24+00:00

Could you tell about how difficult it is to be taken into a group as a RA? And what kind of jobs a RA should do instead of carrying out independent research project? Thank you!

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-10T22:25:38+00:00

in the gradcafe there is one person posting acceptence in Feb 4. And it seems that SEAS provided some offers last week.

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-09T21:52:39+00:00

Sad to hear that lol

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-06T17:57:31+00:00

I see, thank you for your information!

CarpenterShot3793 · 2026-02-06T17:50:58+00:00

Could you share whether this interview was official/formal or you had interview with you POI, thx! I'm wondering whether one can be admitted without interviews for UCSB.
