From the top university in the world, still got rejected… Very sad and disappointing

From the top university in the world, still got rejected

HEP-th, 1 REU, 1 co-authored paper not in physics. undergrad thesis in HEP-th. 1a/5r/1w/1i/8p

Second year/attempt applying to grad school. Have a 2 year MSc, 3+ years research experience, 1 second-author pub., 4 strong/good LORs (2 well-known profs. in the field). Haven't got a single acceptance yet! I guess it's a huge wave of rejects for me this year as well. Totally heartbreaking! I'll probably move to industry :( My heart was in physics/astro research, I will surely miss it! :(

HEP-th and CMT. Couple of publications, pgre 990, 2 years research experience, strong lors

ok, official rejection for this one

AMO experimental. ~ 9 mos. non-AMO research, 1 poster presented. Two non-AMO summer research internships.

"On behalf of the members of the Graduate Admissions Committee, we thank you for your time and effort in submitting an application to our graduate degree program. We are sorry to inform you that you are not being offered admission to the MIT Physics doctoral program. We received more than 1,700 applications for an incoming class of around 40 students this year. We understand that candidates not offered admission often want to explore what they could have done differently, but we regret that the volume of applications and inquiries we receive precludes us from providing any individual feedback. We hope that you will enroll in a graduate program that fits your interests and we wish you success in your graduate studies."

hep-th, no gre no publication, two year research experience, official rejection through email

had an interview and did caltech surf -- expected the rejection at this point
