SUMMARY
Applying for graduate school in engineering with a BA in Physics and a 3.4 GPA is still feasible, particularly if applications are submitted promptly. The GRE score of 1240, with a strong quantitative score of 720, enhances the candidate's profile. Participation in a year-long research project adds valuable experience. However, deadlines are critical; many applications for fall 2010 were due in January/February, but some unfunded master's programs may still be accepting applications.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of graduate school application processes
- Familiarity with GRE scoring and its impact on applications
- Knowledge of the importance of letters of recommendation
- Awareness of application deadlines for specific programs
NEXT STEPS
- Research graduate programs in engineering that accept late applications
- Prepare and strengthen letters of recommendation
- Review GRE preparation resources to improve scores if necessary
- Explore unfunded master's programs and their application requirements
USEFUL FOR
Prospective graduate students in engineering, particularly those with a background in Physics and moderate GPAs, seeking guidance on application strategies and deadlines.
