Physics, Stanford University TTPB: I am not in he-th, but I have talked to many professors (from different schools) who usually sit in admissions committees. The single most important factor is LORs. Not only do the LORs have to be exceptional, the LORs should be from people who the admission committee knows and trusts (unfortunately, this is not possible for everyone). If you have the above two, rest of the application becomes irrelevant.
