Keeping it simple: on average for a university Ph.D. program in physics, what are the rough weightings of the different credentials for entrance?
Example:
GPA (~25%) -also, does undergraduate school or class rank matter?
Research (~30%) -for this: is quantity or the quality more important?
GRE physics (~25%)
Recommendation letters (~10%) -helped mostly by discussing with professors?
GRE reasoning (~10%) -is math more important than verbal, analytical?
If you think different schools vary widely in these, please provide a rough estimate on a grad program you have researched (if you know)
thanks
EDIT: I just realized this may belong to Academic Guidance, so move it there if you see this
