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.

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

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...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

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?
