Programs Has anyone heard back from Caltech for the LIGO summer program?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the LIGO summer program application process, with participants sharing their experiences regarding communication from Caltech. One user confirmed receiving two responses: a request for additional information and an offer for a position at the Washington site, which they declined. Another participant noted that the official site indicates only successful applicants will receive notifications by March 15, clarifying the timeline for applicants awaiting responses.

Hi everyone, I have applied to the LIGO summer program. But I'm not from Caltech. I'm wondering if anyone has heard back from Caltech yet. Thanks

I heard back, once with a request for more info (I didn't get the position) and once with an offer at the Washington site. I declined, though.
I think everyone will hear back by March 15, according to their site.
 
My bad, the site says only successful applicants will hear back by that deadline. Just wanted to clarify.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
