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.

Hi,

I am eager to apply at the applied physics department of yale university. I completed my BSc in Electronic Engineering and Msc In Radio and Space Science. My academic profile is given below.

Masters Result: Moderate
Undergrad GPA:3.22
Publication: three (one IEEE journal as first auther and two conf)
GRE: V 610 Q 770 AW 3.5
Toefl 103

Would my application be accepted at Yale?

dont you need the physics GRE as well? I would think a institution like yale requires it...actually almost sure that all of them require it.
 
I visited yale applied physics website. it says Physics GRE encouraged but not required.

Oh, this is going to end badly.. Do consider taking it
 
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 graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
