UC Berkeley

Physics, PhD (F17)

Rejected via E-mail on 09 Mar 2017

Note

3 years in HEP-ex and astro. Strong LORs and a few poster and presentation at conference. Marks the end of Application season. Rejected by ambitious schools (MIT, UCB) and safe(r) ones (BU, UCLA) but accepted by medium ones (UMich, UChicago). Moral of the story- no matter how good your contacts and communication with a prospective advisor, it will be irrelevant to the Admission committee.
