HEP-Ex. Recommender and POI was an MIT prof. Don’t know what went wrong. Disappointed in myself.

hep-th. 1 paper. 3 schools. 3 Research LORs. I’m shocked...

Reco from faculty who was a grad student at MIT. Interview with MIT Astrophysics faculty in Jan.

CMT and Statistical Physics, strong GRE performance, 3 years research experience with 1 paper as first author, 3 papers as main contributors

apply for computational LIGO and HEP-ex

AMOex A formal offer letter with information on your financial support, as well as information on working with our travel agent to arrange a visit to our upcoming Open House for admitted students, will be sent within the next ten days to two weeks. In the meantime, please save the dates of April 3-5 for a visit to MIT for our Open House for admitted doctoral students.

hep-th

Applied for CMT. One conference presentation (not in intended field), decent LORs. Secondary interest in fluid dynamics.

CME/CMT. Expected rejection haha. Two 1-st author publications on international conferences.

Has a long interview before in mid-Jan

I guess my statement of objectives must have come off a little too noncomMITtal.

Field: Soft matter/biophysics. One second-author publication. Approx 1.5 years' research experience. No interview.

hep-th

2 papers, tons of research experience. Had contacted 2 professors before. No interview.

Astro emphasis. Received notification from Harvard Astronomy at the same time. 100% reject game going strong :)

Would be more disappointed at their discernment if they accepted me instead ;)

HEP-TH. I bet you can't beat my current rejection rate of 100% :)
