Responding to person asking if I contacted professors beforehand – no, I did not, and this was a very unexpected acceptance (nearly all of the faculty doing astro said they weren't accepting students, or they were only accepting students with their own funding, which I also didn't apply for...) Haven't heard back from Toronto Astronomy dept yet though.

Hep-th. 3 yrs research, none in my field. Got rejected from all 8 of the top 10 schools I applied to. I guess you really need research in the field/connections to get in

Are they even rejecting anyone? Waitlisted upon enquiry but that seems to be the case for everyone.
