It's raining rejects!

one conference paper published, strong 3 LOR, major: Theory, undergraduate: Okay, two master degree with high GPA. I was at least expected to have an interview. They sent an email that there is an update in my application and when I checked, I found this message: "After careful review, I regret to inform you that the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is unable to take favorable action on your application to the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The number of promising applicants well exceeded the number of offers of admission we can make for the 2021-2022 academic year. I know that this decision comes as a disappointment. Unfortunately, enrollment of new students is limited to a small fraction of those who are qualified for admission. I want to assure you that your application received full consideration by faculty members in the program to which you applied. We appreciate your interest in the Graduate School and wish you success in your future studies." Good luck for who have been accepted.

To the person below talking about the dilution fridge, please get off your high horse. I also did not know what a dilution fridge was. And? I have 5 offers from R1 schools. 2 publications. 2 theses. You don't have to know every niche thing about physics to be a good prospect and to be successful. Sorry your perfect self didn't get accepted to Harvard but COME ON. Don't drag someone else down. That's gross.

Master's GPA 4.0. 1 Pubs and 1 Arxiv.

No Interview

Field: HCI, no interview

Contacted two POIs via email and had a zoom meeting with one of them.

Paid $100 to wait 3 months to hear back with the most generic rejection letter. Just send decisions out earlier or at least keep applicants updated throughout the process smh..

Email to check portal. Not unexpected, but was my top choice so it's a bummer.
