IGNORE WAITLIST- has anyone heard from UMN astrophysics?? I haven't seen any posts on here, acceptance or otherwise.

Applied for the PhD program, offered a spot in the MS program, said it was unlikely for a spot to open up in the PhD program. Still a very exciting offer!

Did astrophysics for undergrad @ UC Berkeley, strong LORs (one from the Astronomy dept. chair), multicultural background, self supporting student, transfer student from a California community college. No publications, but did over a year of research in cosmology/data science through a postdoctoral fellow working for DESI at the LBNL, and have plenty of extracurriculars under my belt.

Hi! I am sorry for posting this again, but if you are planning to attend other university, please decline your offer of UNM as soon as possible and way before 15 April. This is my last hope and it will definitely change my life. I really need it.

I will decline this wl today. Good luck to everyone!

This year has seen a record number of 285 applications to Astrophysics, for just 13 places.

If you have received an offer from this program but are planning to accept another opportunity—especially if you have a better offer elsewhere—I would sincerely appreciate it if you could inform the university of your decision as soon as possible.
