Hello, everyone! I have a question here and I am really looking forward to hear your advices.
I am now applying for phd programs, and I am aiming at the top universities in the US. However, based on my performance, I think my chance going to the, say, top 6 or top 10 is very small. (personally I think maybe I can get an offer from colleges rank 20 or around) So I am thinking of one possible career path:
Doing a master at a Canada university like U of T first, then apply for a top univ phd. master programs there have scholarships so I can do it. Then with a stronger research background, I am more likely to get in a top college in the US.
Of course other master programs like cambridge part iii math, imperial college QFFF and ETH master program are also taken into my consideration. But the financial support may be a big problem.
I am choosing this also because I am from China, and for certain reasons, Chinese students are less likely to get admitted if they state that they want to do theoretical physics, which is (unfortunately) my interest. So another year's training may take me out of the disadvantage.
I am now thinking this seriously. But I am not sure of the possibility. Can you give me some advice? Any comments are appreciated!
