[QUOTE="Crass_Oscillator, post: 5583449, member: 596746"] I don't think there's much point in going to graduate school in physics unless you are working with a well funded, highly influential adviser in your field of interest*. Start by looking into who those people are to build a list of schools (which will, it turns out, include more than just top ten schools), and figure out who has funding for new students by talking to them. Then talk to the faculty member who is the chair of graduate admissions about your chances. *Of course, sometimes it works out if you go for an underdog or a new faculty at an institute of lesser prestige, but that makes a hard road harder. The only faculty I know who consistently produce professors are the top faculty. I'm assuming you want to be a professor. [/QUOTE]
