Hello, I recently Graduated as a Mechanical Engineer from the University of Jordan and I am looking to do a Masters in Physics in Germany

obviously I am at a disadvantage when it comes to admission due to my Bachelors, but I am currently fixing that.

I am currently taking Courses in Quantum Mechanics, Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism and Statistical Mechanics, as well as German language courses and I am planning to do to the GRE Physics Exam.

do you have any extra advice as to how to increase my chances of admission?

thanks in Advance : )

When I took the GRE exam, there were parts other than Physics. Perhaps those other areas may give you other directions?

And I agree with jedishrfu
Why Germany when your English so good already?
