“Yes, strong performance is expected (and not just in those fields either), but it’s still a research degree.”

Well, I think it is considered more important in math and theoretical physics. A 4.5/5.0 plus good research (a publication) from MIT will probably get you in everywhere in most fields. From what I’ve heard, that is not true for math and theoretical physics.
