What's the timeline for theoretical physics PhD admissions in the UK?

[QFT1995]

If I haven't heard back as of yet, does that mean that I haven't been shortlisted? When are interviews usually held and when do people usually find out? My feeling is that if I haven't heard back from the universities as of yet, I haven't been shortlisted but I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable about the process can clear up these questions that I have.

and this one for admissions

but you should contact admissions to see if there’s some holdup or if they’re missing a part of your application.
