University of Chicago

Astronomy & Astrophysics, PhD (F23)

Accepted via E-mail on 31 Jan 2023

Note

Got an email to check the portal. Applied to groups working on galaxies. International student (BS Physics) in a very well-recognized US university. No GRE or pGRE. 3+ years of research experience. One first-author paper about to be submitted, one second-author ApJ paper. AAS Medal. Lots of leadership and outreach experience (idk if they cared about this but they asked about it in the interview). Got a rec letter from someone on the UChicago admissions committee. All 3 of my rec letters were likely great. VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS! MY VERY FIRST ACCEPTANCE! I can finally breathe now
