Schools Top European Physics Schools for Industrial Engineering Grad Programs

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking recommendations for European universities offering physics programs, as the user feels their profile may not be competitive enough for top-tier institutions. The user has a strong academic background in Industrial Engineering from a prestigious Indian institution, with a GPA of approximately 3.7/4, and relevant research experience, including two journal articles in physics and multiple projects related to general relativity and quantum mechanics. They plan to take the GRE and predict a score between 850-900 on the PGRE, which they believe reflects their problem-solving skills. The user is currently considering several US universities, including University at Buffalo, University of Pittsburgh, University of Wisconsin-Madison, SUNY-Stony Brook, and North Carolina State University, and is looking for additional recommendations for both US and European institutions where they might have a better chance of acceptance.

There are huge resources to rank and rate the different universities for physics in US but i am blind as to what universities i can apply outside US preferably Europe. with the profile i have i don't think i have any shot in top schools and can aim only for 2nd tier schools

My profile as of now -
Industrial Engineering in India (National Institute of Technology, trichy) Top 5 in india

Over all GPA now in indian system = 7.2/10 (which converts to around 3.7/4)
2 Journal articles in physics (general relativity)
4 Projects in physics (2 summer and 2 winter projects) (general relativity and Quantum mechanics)
1 Statistical Math Project
1 project to mathematically model product life cycle (used physics model for solving industrial engineering problems)
1 conference (this summer)
1 Lecture course by Prof michael berry (this summer)

Gre yet to take

Can you recommend some good europian physics schools that i have a chance, so that i could add them to the list.

My list as of now has

University at Buffalo, SUNY
Univ of Pittsburgh
U Wisconsin-Madison
SUNY-Stony Brook
North Carolina State Univ

What's your predicted PGRE score?
 
I am quite good in problem solving and PGRE as i sampled few questions, is almost same level as my undergrad entrance exam which i fared well

so most probably some where around 850-900 ?
 
and would be really helpful if you could recommend any other US universities i have good shot at.
thanks a ton in advance ! :D
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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 (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
