Graduate programs Definition and 70 Threads

Hey all. I'm actually a math and chemistry major at the Univ. of Illinois Chicago. I have a competitive GPA, research experience, and an overal good academic history. What I'm trying to do is plan my advanced math courses to not only be functionable within my area of interests (engineering...

My goals are caltech and mit phd/ms programs. What must i do at the very least? Besides the tests of course...

Hi all. I am trying to get a sense for applications to graduate programs in applied math. What are the general GPA requirements for top-25 programs? I am currently doubling majoring in Physics and Economics looking to do applied mathematical modeling of social science problems (game theory...

Well, as the rejection letters start coming in, I can't help but wonder what it takes to reapply to graduate programs. I believe my application this time around was strong in all aspects except GRE scores (which were quite miserable). So my question is, if I improve my GRE scores significantly...

I'm an UG right now, but I plan on doing research in theoretical physics (probably particle physics. I want to work on finding a TOE. Possibly QM or QED instead). Which schools are best for these pursuits? Thank you.

I'm currently an MET student at UMaine. I like what I'm doing a lot, I just feel like it is very technical and won't allow me to be accredited to do anything else but 'execute someone elses plans' instead of designing something of my own. Does anyone know of any graduate programs for MET? Or...

Hey guys, i just have a few quick questions about the above topic. 1st off, i am in currently a junior earning my applied physics degree with my concentration in engineering (engineering physics i guess you could say). As time went on i realized i was interested in mechanical/ aerospace...

A little over a year ago I graduated from a state school (Western Michigan University) with a double major in Film and Archeology. I have always liked math but was more focused on film. This summer I started studying math on my own and placed into a pre calculus class at a city college. I am...

Hi, from relating posts I can't decide how things really are. I'm B.S. of General Physics studying for M.S. of Mathematical Modeling (1st year of 2). It cost huge amount of energy to gain necessary mathematical knowledge (Functional Analysis, PDEs classical+modern, Various lectures of...

So, I'm filling out applications for graduate school. In each of the applications there is a section to mention the names of any professors you have contacted. I have yet to contact any professors at any graduate institutions. I know that this can help in getting accepted to competitive...

Hi everyone, So, I've got some questions that fall into the category of social etiquette. I'm an undergrad, will graduate this year, and am looking at potential graduate programs, so hopefully I'll be visiting a few schools in the spring. I might also be attending a conference in my field...

Hi, I am interested in Chaos, Complex Systems and Nonlinear dynamics systems and Statistical physics, can anyone please suggest me some graduate programs in this topics and maybe some literature too?

I am currently a double major in EE and physics due to graduate in spring 2008. I want to go to graduate school to study semiconductor device physics, or perhaps molecular electronics or organic electronics. Should I be looking into EE programs or applied physics programs? I know it would...

I am currently entering my senior year at Western Kentucky Univeristy. I am a physics and math major and astronomy minor. My current GPA is a 3.86. One the general GRE my analytical score was a 740 , Verbal only a 410, and my Analytical Writing was a 4.5. On the Physics GRE I only scored a...

Can anyone help me with a website that lists bioinformatic graduate programs in the U.S.? Thanks in advance.

I graduate next year with a degree in mathematics(emphasis on pure math) and I will be applying to a few math PHD programs sometime later this year. I want to study pure mathematics(not applied). Also I'm in the states and plan to stay in the states for graduate school. I spoke with my advisor...

In general, places like MIT or Caltech or Stanford, and other places that aren't as "good"(yah I know good's relative and subjective, hence the quotes)I was talking to a guy who had a 3.9 GPA, research experience, and from my own personal knowledge really good at math, and he didn't even get a...

... undergraduate programmes? (I'm talking about admissions) I want to study abroad at a respected universe, but I don't have the grades to go directly to an undergraduate program. I'm taking my undergraduate degree in physics at a local university. The question is: how do I spend my three...

I am almost done with my junior year at a top 15 liberal arts college. I'm majoring in physics with an overall gpa of 3.5 which I hope to pull to a 3.6 by graduation. My physics gpa is about 3.85. I am interested in attending a top school to do medical physics. Duke, UChicago,UW-Madison, and...
