Received an email from one of the PIs mentioned in my SOP.

3 strong letters of rec, good fit/motivation for HECD and two of its subfields, strong resume and SOP, but no work experience.

Email to check portal. "Thank you for your interest in the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology (HST) PhD Program in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics (MEMP). The Graduate Admissions Committee has completed its review of applications, and I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission. The Committee is faced with the necessity of choosing an incoming MEMP PhD class from a great many more talented and qualified students than we have room to admit. Our decisions were extremely difficult this year, as the applicant pool was highly competitive. Many applicants presented strong credentials describing their academic achievements, research accomplishments, and personal motivations."
