Schools Admission into an American University

AI Thread Summary
To study physics at a high level in the U.S., it's essential to research universities that align with your academic goals, even if your current institution isn't highly ranked. Focus on meeting entry requirements, which can typically be found on the universities' websites, particularly in sections dedicated to international students. For example, the University of Michigan provides specific guidance for prospective international applicants. Conduct thorough online research to identify suitable programs and navigate the application process effectively.

I want to study physics at great depth. Our University does not hold such a good rank in world ranking.
I am planning to go to America. I am from India.
Advice me about what should I do?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Ensure you meet the entry requirements and apply?
 
Study the web sites of some universities that you might want to apply to. There is often a section specifically for prospective students from abroad. For example, at the University of Michigan:

https://admissions.umich.edu/apply/international-students

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...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
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...
