Update: I could not apply in 2022 due to not being able to get 3 letters of recommendations. But I did apply in December of 2023 (also without research experience but after taking graduate classes in QFT and GR) and got into Florida State University. I am currently interested in nuclear theory and high energy theory for the PhD.
