I expect to get rejected from most if not all pure Astronomy PhD programs. All I need 1 acceptance to do a PhD doing Astronomy research. It probably will not be from a pure astronomy program and more likely from a joint physics and astronomy program. I did this before as an undergraduate but this time I am a stronger applicant since I have no bad GRE scores to weigh me down, I will have a master's with a decent GPA (3.5) at the end of the semester and I have more research experience (8 undergraduate astrophysics research projects resulting in 2 publications and an astronomy master's research project).
