I applied for Astronomy at UCLA (yeah, I actually applied only there... but I do have a backup in case this fails). Anyone else who applied there for Physics/Astronomy or heard anything from them?

JasonJo said:I got rejected from UIUC and Cornell. Not surprised about either, but really disappointed that I didn't get into UIUC. I thought I had an OK chance. Of course, I am not entitled to admission, but it hurts nonetheless.
Also Northwestern has sent out first round of offers and they seem to do a rolling admissions. So I'm not sure if I got rejected from NW. Again, I am not holding my breath.

They were my top choice out of the realistic schools i applied to!

I've already received an unofficial "we've recommended you for admission to the graduate school but you're not technically in yet wink wink" phone call from one school, but I'm wondering if it makes me look bad to ask for unofficial results from other programs.
Appearing arrogant and impatient isn't something I want to do if the school hasn't made a decision yet.

I will be at OSU-physics’ open house.tuna_wasabi said:I also got into OSU. Are you going to the open house? Maybe I'll see you there.

Vanadium 50 said:Condensed matter is the largest subfield of physics. Could it be that simple?
i guess it could, i was thinking more along the lines that it had the most applications but I'm not sure.
