Admissions Applying at Yale (Applied Physics)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the application process for the Applied Physics department at Yale University. The individual has a background in Electronic Engineering and Radio and Space Science, with a moderate master's result, a GPA of 3.22, three publications, and GRE scores of 610 verbal, 770 quantitative, and 3.5 analytical writing. Concerns are raised about the necessity of the Physics GRE for admission, as the Yale website indicates it is encouraged but not required. There is a suggestion to consider taking the Physics GRE to strengthen the application, reflecting the competitive nature of admissions at prestigious institutions like Yale.

Hi,

I am eager to apply at the applied physics department of yale university. I completed my BSc in Electronic Engineering and Msc In Radio and Space Science. My academic profile is given below.

Masters Result: Moderate
Undergrad GPA:3.22
Publication: three (one IEEE journal as first auther and two conf)
GRE: V 610 Q 770 AW 3.5
Toefl 103

Would my application be accepted at Yale?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
dont you need the physics GRE as well? I would think a institution like yale requires it...actually almost sure that all of them require it.
 
I visited yale applied physics website. it says Physics GRE encouraged but not required.

Oh, this is going to end badly.. Do consider taking it
 
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
