Note

It really concerning how the competition for grad admissions has elevated. I have friends who have multiple published papers and are getting rejected from all the schools they applied to. I myself got selected into some good HEP-th programs but, I got rejected from places where I expected to have a clear chance considering my research profile and grades of graduate-level courses. I hope most of you get selected, even if not, do not lose your motivation and please try to pursue research if possible. We all get rejections but that does not mean you are not good enough in the long run. Take care and congratulations that you got this far. There is a long way ahead, enjoy the journey.
