Quarky I feel I'm presently in your shoes.

Was supposed to get an invite to an interview but I haven't heard anything from them even on the date they said they would send the invite.

And I feel a bit distraught at not even getting a chance to be interviewed.
Do you think it'd be okay to ask the admissions team why I wasn't shortlisted for the interview?

It's getting very late. Offers usually are required to be accepted or declined by April 15.

Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
