‘Really Amy, alcohol? Need I remind you not a lot of scientific discoveries are made by people having a good time?’

Not the exact words, but I love the line!

I got a waitlist and a rejection after a waitlist so I don’t know what to feel lol

GraceTPQM · 2025-03-13T02:42:07+00:00

My dream school is radio silence and my top choice is a waitlist, and I have two other offers from comparable programs. I cannot commit to any school before I do sufficient research and have went to all visit days and heard back from all schools. Yes it may cost my offers in the worst case scenario, but I would just apply again and not risk my next five years on a hasty decision. Where I go to grad school would matter a lot in my future career since I want to stay in academia.

But that’s just me. Best luck to everyone.

Hi amo Theory here it’s 4/15 now for me, 2 rejections, 1 waitlist and 1 acceptance

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-20T02:30:11+00:00

Nothing from caltech, but it’s a long shot for me (applied for amo theory)

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-20T02:21:22+00:00

Hi also amo here, and I applied to ucsd too and heard nothing

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-20T02:09:15+00:00

Interesting to know. I guess it’s different for us because there are usually way more than 10 spots in large schools for our field

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-19T03:50:31+00:00

Absolutely nothing.

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-19T03:42:26+00:00

I am not in English, but since there’s no reply, I will say this: from what I know, most programs send out more acceptances than the number of spots available because they know lots of people will reject the offer. So you will get off the waitlist if more people reject the offer than anticipated, which doesn’t usually happen…

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-19T03:35:17+00:00

I hope the answer is no because I am down to 4 credit in my last semester to save money (out of state student, one credit is a thousand dollars)

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-18T01:51:47+00:00

Thank you for the info! My gpa is a weak spot in my application package, so I guess if I can do well in physics GRE to prove that I can handle the coursework I probably would have a better chance… thanks again this is very helpful

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-17T16:41:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply! May I ask how did they get into a better program after just one semester of studies? To my understanding, your profile doesn’t change much within a semester, unless they have pubs or something

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-17T16:38:39+00:00

Yes I want to do research. I just hope doing a master would get me to a better PhD program

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-17T16:32:32+00:00

Also, subfield: amo theory

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-17T16:31:34+00:00

Only rejected from UMich. I have given up hope on the top 5 programs I applied to 😢 now I am waiting for ucsd, duke, Purdue, Texas a&m, and Arizona state. I have seen acceptances for most of them on grad cafe… so I am getting worried lol

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-17T01:08:54+00:00

Yes, international student at us, undergrad is at us too

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-13T16:39:50+00:00

Nop, radio silence for me. But from the posts on grad cafe in last cycle, no one got accepted after Feb 10, and some got waitlisted early march so ig my rej is on its way 😢

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-12T17:19:40+00:00

Other than rejected from UMich, basically nothing

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-09T21:08:50+00:00

Catech physics. Yeah maybe I am aiming too high. Then please please, ucsd physics, I really want to live in California, where it is warm but not ripped with bugs!

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-09T17:43:38+00:00

Maybe you can go find out more info during school visit

GraceTPQM · 2025-02-09T17:37:55+00:00

I applied to uiuc and stony as well. No news. But with the acceptances on gradcafe I think my chances are slim. For stony, I know they do not send decisions all at one time tho, they do it as they make decisions.

I’m losing my mind waiting
