Hi all,
I am looking for advice on what physics graduate programs to apply to. My original list was:
University of Maryland - College Park
Harvard University
Columbia University
Caltech
Pennsylvania State
University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign
Colorado University - Boulder
UC-Barbara
niversity of Texas - Austin
University of Wisconsin - Madison
Ohio State University
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
Note: I aware this is a large number of schools, but am really serious about getting in somewhere.
My PGRE score has just arrived: 730 :( . Much lower than expected. I need to revise the above list but wonder what are some decent safety schools and "reach" schools given a 730 PGRE. I would like to apply to roughly 4 reach, 5 safety, 3 backup.
Some other details: my GPA is 3.8/4.0, and I have done research during 1 summer REU and 1 summer at my school. I want to go into Condensed Matter or AMO.
Thanks in advance!
