The discussion revolves around the University of Hawaii's physics PhD program, specifically focusing on particle astrophysics and neutrino physics. Participants inquire about acceptance rates, program quality, and the relevance of school rankings.
Participants generally share a common interest in the University of Hawaii's programs, but specific details about acceptance rates and program quality remain unresolved. There is no consensus on the importance of school rankings.
Limitations include a lack of specific statistics on acceptance rates and program reviews, as well as varying opinions on the significance of rankings in the context of graduate school applications.
Prospective graduate students interested in particle astrophysics or neutrino physics, particularly those considering the University of Hawaii as a potential program.

Anyone know what the acceptance rate is/how hard it is to get in? Any reviews of the school? Should ranking concern me? They seem to do interesting work there.
Grad school - as I suspected. I know a little bit about John Learned and have heard only good things about their programs http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~jgl/nuastron.htmlope211 said:Grad. They're definitely involved in a lot of experiments I'm interested in.
