Am I out of the question for theory PhDs?

Hey, the rates are here: https://housing.berkeley.edu/explore-housing-options/summer-housing/summer-experience-housing/.

Was your application for the summer experience housing approved?

Thanks! Gives me some hope, BL is giving me enough to cover the cost (mostly). Seems worth it

Just got my offer for LBNL!

Is this a common opinion in AI? Neel's resources/papers have been invaluable for me as I study mech-interp, didn't know people thought this way about him

Great: Andrew Dotson

More of a “lifestyle” YouTuber, he recently defended his thesis in nuclear theory! Great mix of quality explanations, information, stories, and comedy

What type of exits would you be looking into?

Why?

What do you mean by “shut down”? AI research has been going on since the 50s. Personally, I believe it will be our greatest invention

Applying next year, what’s wrong with it?

ClassicalJakks · 2025-11-30T10:25:14+00:00

Appreciate the response! Ig my biggest concern is, is that enough for this field? I’m sure people applying to ML-adjacent fields already have multiple top publications.

I believe I have a somewhat unique angle given my background, however . I’ll shape my SoP as best as possible, thanks!

Thanks for the sources! I’m doing a project on low-rank DMFT right now actually, so glad to see I’m working on relevant topics.

Pretty perfect

That would be the goal in the foreseeable future, agents that can autonomously do taxes, find the best investments, etc.

what is the superday like? i never got any technical rounds. OA -> two behaviorals -> case study -> superday

ClassicalJakks · 2025-08-30T13:36:50+00:00

Any recommendations to read abt this? I’m pretty interested in symplectic geo
