I think I'll take the Physics GRE, if taking that will make a difference. I had a look and if 60th/70th...
I agree/understand. I will certainly avoid applying for straight physics programs. I am also aware that - if I get in anywhere - it will be at least 30-50 places down the rankings compared to my BS/MS unis.
Whilst I would love to be based in a physics department, I would be happy as long as my...

Hello,
I’m looking to apply for CSME/computational physics/biophysics PhDs in America starting in September 2024. I'm a bit scared about physics departments just because whilst I have mechanics, QM and Stat Mech I have never taken any atomic/electrodynamic classes.
I would like to know if my...
