Notes
CME from one of the old five IITs. One summer intern at Stanford. Applied to 14 of the top 20 physics schools according to USNWR. 0/14. Not a single admission. Rejected from everywhere. What's wrong with the schools this year? Really frustrated, guys. No hope. After going through the long application process which I prepared for so hard, it feels frightening to think of applying again next year.
