Quantum info theory. Current MIT research staff collaborating with several of the groups I applied to join. Got a raise 3 weeks ago. MIT remains deeply chaotic lol.

Double major in physics/engineering, 14 months equivilent full time research experience across two major projects and several minor projects including one I won funding for, 1 year TA/LA experiencing, 1 publication (not first author), several posters, and senior thesis (unpublished). I think there was a lack of fit between my interests and department research, on top of generally high competition (1700~ people for 40 slots).

A bit surprising since I had a very promising interview in which they said things like "you'd be a perfect fit" but that's OK. I was interviewed for PSFC despite my primary interest being experimental particle physics. Good luck to everyone else!

Ignore waitlist. Anyone know when decisions for HEP-TH/ QIT will be available? I'm seeing people here post decisions for astro/cm.
