Schools Which universities I should apply to without a Physics GRE?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding universities that do not require the Physics GRE for graduate applications. The original poster has a strong GPA of 3.87 but lacks time to prepare for the Physics GRE before applying for fall 2015. Suggestions include Mississippi State and the University of Missouri - Columbia, both of which do not require the Physics GRE. However, there's a consensus that taking the GRE is advisable to avoid potential rejection from many programs. Overall, applicants are encouraged to consider their options carefully and prepare adequately for the GRE.

Hi fellas,
I am in senior year of my undergrad and will be graduating next May. If I want to apply for the fall-2015 session, which universities will best fit me with my academic record?

I have a cgpa of 3.87 out of 4.00 . I have not given general GRE yet but wish to give within December, but i need a university that takes student without physics GRE because I do not have enough time to prepare for it.

any suggestions?

You should take the Physics GRE. A school may not *require* it, but that does not mean they won't *consider* it.
 
Mississippi State is the only school I know of which doesn't require it. You could look at engineering programs, they usually don't require it.

Any school that does not require the PGRE is one that I would not wish to go to. You have plenty of time to prepare so stop making excuses and get to it.
 
The University of Missouri - Columbia does not require the PGRE. I know of at least one graduate student who got in without it.

Take the GRE first even if you have to delay a year or study like crazy now or whatnot. Since without it I fear auto-reject from just about anywhere (unless you have perhaps published a paper of at least semi-significant note already).
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
