Hello,

I wanted to simply post all my current stats and get some recommendations on physics grad schools or how I can improve in the time I have left before I apply. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Junior->Senior
~3.5 gpa physics
630 PGre retaking but we'll see
2 publishings and current research project with ATLAS that may or may not be published by the time I apply
Particle Theory is my field of choice.

Thanks!
