Hey, I am from UC Berkeley. I wonder if anyone here has applied to perimeter institute's 2015 summer program. I've applied but haven't heard back from them yet. I wonder if anybody here has got a reply.

Hi, I got a reply on Thursday.

So do you think I should still wait for a reply or should I just find another program instead? And you got in right? Congratulations

Yes, I got accepted, although I am still waiting for the precise details of my project (should be GR). I've been told it's a highly oversubscribed programme (~100 applicants) and only a handful of places. I suppose you will hear from them soon-ish, as they apparently have waiting lists for individual projects they must get through. Good luck! (btw, what kind of project did you apply to?)

I applied for mathematical physics as my first choice

U got any ideas how competitive the mathematical physics program is?
 
I think it is highly competitive.
