SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on identifying physics graduate schools in the United States that are relatively easier to gain admission into. It highlights that while there are about 150 institutions offering PhDs in physics, the competition remains high, as these schools are generally considered "Most Competitive" or "Highly Competitive." The user has already applied to several schools and seeks additional options for safety. A resource link to gradschoolshopper.com is provided for further exploration of graduate school rankings.
