Emailed to check portal

1st class rank, one conference paper, several presentations at international conferences, 1 price to the best talk and 1 price to the best poster contribution, 1 first author paper in preparation, 1.5 yrs of research experience in multimessenger astronomy and 2 additional summer research internships (Germany and Sweden). Student from developing country, founded an organization to improve physics in the region that is now partnered with several international organizations. No GRE.

Feeling a little bit sad for being rejected after an interview. Luckily got some good offers already. Though I was expecting that a kind POI would ant least inform me of this rejection before the official notice. Well, afterwards I understand it's not their obligation to do so.

(International Student) Did my undergrad at Memorial University. Currently completing my MA at Dalhousie University with a 4.0 GPA, 2.5 years of research experience, and strong letters of recommendation. My subfield is Canadian Politics.

870 PGRE, hep-ex

This one hurt - had such fantastic conversations with both POIs before applying, was a great research fit, but hey, it's not like I didn't know my chances were tiny to begin with. A solid F in the chat. US history, gender and sexuality subfield.

Disappointed but not surprised. Still no email after a few hours, but a rejection letter in my portal. US history, gender and sexuality subfield.
