- Notes
- Finally received my University of Delaware rejection. I was rejected by all 18 programs that I applied to this year. I’m a physics and mathematics double major, graduated with honors and a 3.95 GPA. I have four years of experience as a research assistant in experimental particle physics, and two as a research assistant in applied condensed matter physics. I attended three REU programs, presented at two undergraduate research symposia, attended one APS meeting, and published two papers (well, one has only been submitted). I’ve contributed significantly to several open source computational physics software projects, and software written by myself has been used in published research conducted by faculty and students at three separate institutions. I was awarded one external graduate fellowship. I’m nine months and a few hundred applications into my job search and have only had two interviews. I’ve accepted a fast food position and guess I’ll save up so that I can re-apply to graduate programs this or next fall.
