hep-th, 4 publications (JHEP)+1 accepted in JHEP, pGRE 990, 3 strong LORs, decent GPA, and quite a good overlap of previous work and research interests with the research of the profs there. As was said by someone on the forum before, "just fell short of a Nobel Prize".

Hep-th no papers yet (1 in progress) many relevant grad courses, good research experience strong LORs

Two rounds for admission. I failed to enter the second round.

GR, 1 submitted paper when applying, 0/8/16

IGNORE INTERVIEW: Just want to say that if you applied HEP-th to Princeton and got rejected, you shouldn't feel bad. I know someone who is next Einstein level smart, got into the other schools they applied to with big scholarships, and still somehow got rejected from Princeton. I don't think Princeton is taking many HEP-th people this year, maybe 1-3.

Had a interview with POI with very positive feedback, I don't know why...

Sorry, the next one start with "ele" was mine too... Intended to put down Electrical

PI first sent email on Feb. 11th saying he recommended me for admission but the committee didn't. Around 19 hours later received the formal one from graduate school. Kinda beyond my expectation, had interview in mid Jan. with PI, and thought it went well. Anyway, congrats to everyone who got admitted and good luck to those waitlisted!

hep-th, 2 publications, 1 preprint
