Astronomy, Penn State (Pennsylvania State University) A little surprised at this, 3.6 GPA, 3 years of research, 2 REUs, 1 1st author publication, 1 2nd author publication in the works, 3 strong LOR, and connections to the astro dept. and area of interest that the department is strong in. Interesting note: they apparently got 60% more applicants this year than they usually do.

Physics And Astronomy, Johns Hopkins University TTPB: Not the person who first wrote, but I was accepted through a department email from a program administrator. My portal is not yet updated (just checked). It also seems like they didn't send out acceptances all at the same time since people reported being accepted before I had heard anything. Applied for astro.

Aero/Astro, Purdue University WL TTBL. Thanks for the info. Can you share your GRE score or of your friend who received acceptance. That will be helpful for me.

Aero/Astro, Purdue University West Lafayette TTPB: I cannot tell you the exact name of that faculty, but he is not my POI. My second department choice was ME and he is an adjunct professor of ME and AAE. I think an interview offer is not only my case because my colleague also got an interview offer from Purdue ME and he is now accepted.

Aero/Astro, Purdue University West Lafayette Hi, I have applied to Purdue University WL in Department of Aero/Astro.
So far only one person has reported about interview call on 5 Jan. Can you tell about the professor and his subfield ?
