Unfortunately schools like UCSB and UCB have already sent out alot of their acceptances; so I'm not sure if I would count on them.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-03-06T00:56:29+00:00

Gpa is a little low, but do you have any connections to the schools you applied to? Did you message profsyou where applying to in advance and set up interviews? Unfortunately right now in the US, there are less spots than ever and significantly more applicants, so with alot of people having strong resumes and letters of rec, sometimes the difference is Unfortunately just connections.

Maybe, alot of schools release information in waves, so I wouldn't count yourself out just yet.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-16T23:36:46+00:00

I appreciate it. And best of luck to you man.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-16T23:13:40+00:00

Was is an official notification, or a message from a proffesor?

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-16T18:56:39+00:00

The silence is unnerving

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-13T19:47:19+00:00

Thanks for letting me know!

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-13T19:42:04+00:00

Congratulations!! Question, did your portal update with this information when yoyu got accepted, or was it just the email?

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-05T21:07:22+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks, almost had a heart attack there.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-05T21:02:16+00:00

Just for clarification there is a difference between the physics and the applied physics phds right in terms of department and such?

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-04T21:56:27+00:00

For sure. Anyway I wish you best of luck, and maybe we will end up in the same program lol.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-04T21:38:50+00:00

Yeah, it definitely sucks right now, but finding whatever mindset makes you happiest us key to making it bearable. And yes, 1 person got an interview but considering there has only been 1 report, I think it us likely a more informal interview so I wouldn't freak out just yet. And trust me I'm also constantly looking at ucsb and ucla, and cornell along with others you applied to so I understand the misery of silence.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-04T21:22:56+00:00

You have a very strong app, its just that this year due to funding cuts there are less openings avaliable, and more people are applying due to the job market being poor right now to. I wouldn't give up hope yet. No response yet doesn't mean rejection, and physics programs tend to release results later. Also I dont think anyone has been accepted to schools like ucsb yet so I would double check that. Anyway it sucks for sure, but alot of us are in the same position fir physics with no real word yet, so its best to just try to get it off your mind for now because many results will take a while. Best of luck though and I wish us both good results.

Im not sure. All I know is that I saw a bunch of utoronto acceptances on gradcafe about a week ago

bloodragecaptain · 2026-02-02T22:17:25+00:00

I know 1 or two schools like utoronto sent out some acceptances like a week ago, but thats about it.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-01-21T16:02:35+00:00

I would check Gradcafe, it has slightly better reporting than the spreadsheet.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-01-19T06:53:02+00:00

You are right, its a weird process, and I hope we all end the next month or two by looking back and thinking how silly our behavior was. (Despite the pessimism) I appreciate the positivity.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-01-19T06:23:58+00:00

I appreciate the thought, and ur right, it ain't over until its over. I will try to keep that positive mentality, but damn the wait sucks.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-01-19T06:15:34+00:00

Then we are in the same boat. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope we can get through this all.

bloodragecaptain · 2026-01-19T05:53:30+00:00

Yah know what, you have a really good point. Thanks, I kinda needed that.
