GPA 3.94

Got an email to check the portal. Applied to groups working on galaxies. International student (BS Physics) in a very well-recognized US university. No GRE or pGRE. 3+ years of research experience. One first-author paper about to be submitted, one second-author ApJ paper. AAS Medal. Lots of leadership and outreach experience (idk if they cared about this but they asked about it in the interview). Got a rec letter from someone on the UChicago admissions committee. All 3 of my rec letters were likely great. VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS! MY VERY FIRST ACCEPTANCE! I can finally breathe now

Email informing me of acceptance, still awaiting funding of course. Currently doing my Master's here so I am not sure if this caused me to get earlier results.

Informed via email to check portal. Was told more than 400 applicants are competing for the positions. I got one rec letter from a prof at this department. I really love UChicago!!!!Thank you guys.. I guess I can withdraw all other applications. 1st author pub in computer science submitted, 2 second-author(one in particle physics) pub under review by decent journal, 2 n-th pubs accepted(all in particle physcis). But I apply to exoplanets (a big transition huh. )
