SUMMARY
Graduate schools in Electrical Engineering, particularly those focusing on Robotics and Automation, view an undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics favorably, especially when accompanied by strong academic performance. The candidate in this discussion boasts a 3.96 GPA, research experience through a REU, and a solid GRE score expectation of 170Q and 165V. While the candidate expresses concern over their small liberal arts college's reputation, their qualifications, including leadership roles and research contributions, significantly enhance their application strength. Applying for relevant fellowships such as NSF and NDSEG is also recommended to bolster their candidacy.
