POI not mentioned in SOP

To the posters below asking about deferment, I called Viterbi's admissions office today and as best as I can remember, the answer was something like, "We make summer offers based on what you indicate on your application. If you would like to appeal to start in the fall, you can email our office requesting so and explaining your reasons. We cannot guarantee you will be permitted to defer to the fall, but we do understand that there can be extenuating circumstances that come up." So, not guaranteed, no formal appeal form or anything. Dude was super nice.

Applied for HEP-th. One year research experience after master's, no publications.

To the poster below, which track did you apply to and do you have any info on the other tracks in CSLC?

Informal acceptance from Professor. Official letter will come in 2 weeks. Had 30 minutes technical interview related to my research interests on 15th January. Masters GPA: 3.67, 8 Publications (1 Journal, 4 Conference, 3 Posters), 1 Patent, 1 very strong and 2 strong letters of recommendation. Lots of teaching experience, talks, and presentations. One year of research experience in the industry and one year of experience as a developer. Congratulations to all who were accepted.

First decision and admit, very happy :)

TOEFL=100, I had a strong recommendation from one Faculty member. But she would forget to put my name in the offer list (that is what it was told to me).
