TTPB: "Thank you for applying to the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics. We regret to inform you that we cannot offer you admission. Your application was simply not competitive and we could not envision your success here. We are confident you will be accepted at less regarded institutions and we wish you luck." REEEEE. Rejected from everywhere. That's it. I'm done boys. My shot at a career in physics is over. :(

Maybe the mass rejection email (from the posts below, it looks like that's what it was) was only for some subfields?

The website says: We are sorry to tell you that you are not being offered admission to the MIT Physics doctoral program. With an increase in applications of over 12% this year, we had to make difficult decisions and turn down many qualified candidates. Please understand that because of the volume of applications we received, we are unable to provide feedback on any individual application. We hope you will gain acceptance to a graduate program that meets your needs, and we wish you the best.rnrnThe message is completely the same as the message sent last year. They did not even change the data “12%”. I feel that MIT Physics Department is very impolite and arrogant during the admission process.
