TTPB: I'm in the same boat, astro/cosmology, 2 interviews at the beginning of February. I emailed to see if there are any updates and they said they're still rolling out admissions. Best of luck!

TTPB: I'm also education-focused and I haven't heard anything. From looking at posts around, I've heard about some rejections for education-focused but not any acceptances. Good luck!

rejection with a hint of waitlist via email; physics education research interest, two undergrad research projects in the field, one unrelated REU, three years of relevant work experience. "a small chance that we will have a second round of offers in the March-April timeframe in case we have fewer acceptances than positions"

TTPB: I'm not sure about the rest, but for UIUC, judging off of the posts here acceptance offers for CMT and maybe Biophysics are probably all sent. There's no mention of any HEP related offers so I'm quite sure HEP offers are yet to be sent. At least I hope so :(

We have sent out responses to applicants whom we were able to make an offer in the first round and are now working on informing everyone else. Unfortunately, you are not in this first round of offers. We had many strong applications and fewer positions than normal this year so unfortunately, we had to reject many excellent applications. There is a small chance that we will have a second round of offers in the March-April timeframe in case we have fewer acceptances than positions. Therefore, we may be considering your application again if we need to add a second round of candidates. We will notify you once again in April when this process is final.

Also HEP-ex and waiting. Looking at the Physicsgre.com forums, it seems that many people are still waiting on decisions for Cornell. Most people waiting seem to have offers from schools in the top 25 or better, but I would assume that a majority of us that are waiting will not be accepted. Perhaps I am too pessimistic...
