Applying at Yale (Applied Physics)

In summary, the individual is interested in applying to the applied physics department at Yale University and has a BSc in Electronic Engineering and Msc in Radio and Space Science. Their academic profile includes a moderate Masters result, a 3.22 undergrad GPA, three publications (one as first author in an IEEE journal and two conference papers), a GRE score of V 610 Q 770 AW 3.5, and a TOEFL score of 103. They are unsure if their application will be accepted, as they are not sure if the physics GRE is required. They have visited the Yale applied physics website and it states that the physics GRE is encouraged but not required. Another individual advises them to consider taking the physics GRE.
