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.

Oh, this is going to end badly.. Do consider taking it
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
