I am a physics masters student, I have the following choices of research:
Experimental Research in nuclear physics
OR
Theoretical Research on the foundations of quantum physics
Everything else being equal, meaning If I choose the experimental route, I will get equal grades, equal physics GRE scores, and equal letters of recommendation in comparison to the theoretical route. Which area of research will maximize my chances of getting into a PhD program?
Or phrased another way, which area of research do most PhD programs look for?
Thank You
