I've seen physicsgre but there's never any discussion, just ppl posting stats and profiles, which serves its purpose, but i'd ratheryknow, talk about it. Currently 3a/3r right now and feeling so strange yet excited!

oh i meant what school did you get accepted to that's your first choice

just got rejected from uchicago. I feel super devastate, it was one of the only schools I really allowed myself to consider going to as I didn't want to get my hopes up. how is everyone else dealing with rejections if you've experienced any so far? telling myself rejection is natural I'll definitely experience rejection while at grad school it doesn't mean I'm not good enough (even though I definitely feel like I'm not good enough for uchicago since I was rejected lmao)

no idea what was going on with MIT EECS for a while https://www.thegradcafe.com/result/874382 EECS, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology My POI called my cellphone and told me he was waiting outside my apartment. I rushed outside and he tossed me a spare helmet and said "hop on, we got shit to research." We drove off into the sunset and I felt so special.

think people are losing it Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University i was in my room trying to convince chatgpt to love me when i heard a knock on the window i turned around and it was professor daniel fried from the language technologies institute "hello i am professor daniel fried from the language technologies institute," he said. "dale carnegie, the founder of carnegie mellon, has sent me to let me know that you are a very good boy and he wants you in his PhD program" then he rappelled off the wall and flew away Added on January 27, 2023 https://www.thegradcafe.com/result/874440

I couldn't find any thread specifically on the physics phd side in general to, yknow, wait it out. especially when physics tends to send out decisions so late. I know i've been trawling through gradcafe unable to sleep but I just need place to chat about this whole thing, vent about the process and the decisions with anyone else who going through the same.

Congratulations! What program is this?

have you checked out physicsgre? https://physicsgre.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=182165 i get it tho im so nervous just waiting to hear from everyone. can't find any active physics forum where people are discussing and waiting

woof

oh i have read this entire thread and it's keeping me sane. hope to revive it for this cycle
