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.

For your information,
I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia
- one SCI publication (first author) about engineering (cited 18 so far).
and M.S. in physics (GPA:4.0/4.0 but I know it's not that helpful) in Asia
- 3 publications (JHEP, IJMPA, EPJC) about holography (AdS/CFT) + 2 progressing projects (will be published before the admission process)

I think I can become a more competitive applicant in EU than US.

I mainly consider UK/France (for personal reason)/Germany. For the case of France, it is extremely difficult to find information.
Does anyone know how much these schools are competitive compared to US schools?
And please let me know if you know any other good schools in those countries.
I know it only includes top schools so I should include more institutions dealing with string theory, holography (AdS/CFT).

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...
Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
