I'm in a somewhat similar position. I lack research experience since it is impossible to find a research in my country in undergraduate level. My school is bad, my gpa is 3.6, I will just have a poster representation at the end of this year and perhaps a summer school in CERN (it is still not...

very helpful! yes, i want to do theory. never been good at experimenting tho. I've been gathering information about schools, and I think I will give it a shot, along with my HEP applications :) thank you.

ever since my first year in undergraduate, I wanted to pursue a degree on theoretical high energy physics. so I took a lot of theoretical classes and started a double major in math (I dropped it after I took some classes I was interested in). however now I have only one year left, I began to...

I might be able to attend a summer school in Cern next year, but i will submit my applications in october so that i can roll in september 2018 without losing a year. other than that, there is my senior project. not sure if any of these will help tho.

thank you for your answers everyone! I guess i will mention all these issues in my statement of purpose. my gpa is 3.80ish and I am going to spend whole summer to study pgre, if i can score above average, perhaps i can balance out my application.

My school doesn't really offer research opportunities for undergrad level. so i lack experience. being a senior student now, I spoke to a professor and arranged a year in his lab starting next semester. but i am afraid that won't be too much. Already handled my toefl, i am confident i will do...

Thank you for your answer, U.S is definitely preferable since It doesn't require a Msc to apply (It is required to have a Msc to apply for phd in Europe and some other countries)

I don't have a particular country in my mind. In fact, anywhere I can do research and live is fine.

Hey Zach, I am still in Turkey, and planing to leave for PhD.

Greetings, I am an undergraduate student, just finished my third year in physics. I began studying physics in my early 20's and had to drop out and work. 3 years ago, I decided to go back to school and build up a career in Physics. however, I am running out of options and not sure what to do...
