Thanks for the advice--I've just taken the Physics GRE last weekend, so now I'll be focusing on actually filling out applications/personal statements and such.
I'm applying to grad school wanting to do experimental high-energy physics. My first semester of college, I got a 3.0. Keep in mind at this point, I wasn't taking any physics. I've started getting better grades as my study skills have improved and as I've started taking more physics and math...
University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Tennessee in Knoxville, University of Wisconsin, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and Rutgers--not all of those are for sure, and certainly there are some there that I have little chance of getting into. Now I'm really looking for more attainable ones...
I'm a senior undergrad and will be applying to grad school soon. The field I'm interested in is experimental high-energy physics. There are already about six schools I'm looking at applying to, but I'm wondering if anyone has any advice about possible safety schools. My overall GPA is about...
