Graduate School Admission Results

received the offer letter

applied for k-12 concentration; current masters student from ed policy adjacent field; asked for a 30 minute interview on 1/9 with POI; so excited!

I completed my undergraduate program earlier this year, and this is my second year in a row applying to Ph.D. programs (I made it into none last year). I spent one year prior to college working with a research group at a university back home. I worked continuously for all four years of college with another research group in the same subfield as that in which I hope to pursue doctoral research. I attended three NSF-funded summer REU programs, and presented at two research symposia. GPA within the physics major was around a 3.9. I received honors, and completed a year-long senior research thesis parallel to my other research involvement with yet another research group.

Submitted pre-Christmas. Received offer of 40% scholarship.

1 first author manuscript, 3 - 4 poster presentations, 1 institutional grant (Co-I), 3 papers in submission, 2.5 years of research experience
