Pretty much every professor in my physics department has said that it when it comes to American physics graduate school, it is harder to get in as a theory student than as an experimentalist.
Do graduate programs consider computational physics, numerical material sciences, etc... essentially theory or do they consider it separate from theory and experiment. Specifically, if one were interested in computational work, would that make it as hard to get into graduate programs as if one were more interested in analytical, "pure" theory?
