Graduate School Admission Results

Really disrespectful to send a rejection this late, thankfully I had my one and only acceptance to hold on to. 1a | 8r | 4i

An international student with a US PR (Green Card), graduated outside the US (3.49 US equivalency CGPA), IELTS overall 7.0, Duolingo 130, studied in a Thai curriculum for 12 years, 3 years and a half of volunteer student advisor experience, interned at an MNC in Corporate Communications, had a photography project about mental health issues

Applied for course based program. Hold 2 bachelor's degree. 2 month internship experience. No resesarch experience. C1 level in English

Also, as an undergraduate student, I had a secret crush on Mark Eriksson and he won’t get me a job in his field because you can only imagine…

Undergrad was in CS.

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.

It sucks! The status was still under review after the interview for almost 5 months and there was no reply from the department. I sent the last email to ask about my admission status, and reply was “Unfortunately, we were not able to …feel free to apply for the next fall”. The reply with only two sentences was very impolite and unprofessional.
