Grad school or employment?
• Assess your interests, strengths, weaknesses this summer. • Identify career fields that interest you. (Talk to friends. Talk to faculty. Go to career fairs. See a career counselor.)Select courses and research for your senior year
• Grad school if you have a compelling reason. • Employment is a good way to start your life after college.Select
courses and research for your senior year that help you develop a resume and knowledge in your interest area.Does graduate school make sense
for you? • Why do you want to go to graduate school? - Good reasons: • You are enthusiastic about some field or career and graduate school is the path to that career. • You want to understand the world at a deeper level. - Bad reasons: • You are good at academics. • You are scared of going out into the world and this is a way to put it off.Graduate school process - timing
• Have a good undergraduate record - academics + research experience or other serious responsibilities • This Summer - investigate schools and prepare for PGRE• Nov-Jan 1 application deadlines for Sept entry - Letters of recommendation from 3 faculty - Physics GRE (for Physics/Astro) in Oct or Nov- General GRE (important for other fields thanPhysics) in early autumn
• Their offers to you by ~March 15 • Your response to them by April 15Fields other than Physics
• About 1/3 of our majors go to graduate school in fields other than Physics or Astronomy. - Geophysics, Materials, Earth Science,Meteorology,Oceanography, Computer Science,

• Application emphasis will be different. - In many engineering fields, there are few TA's, so you must contact faculty in the program to secure a Research AssistantshipPreparation
• In order to be competitive for programs other than Physics, you should demonstrate interest and capability in that field through:that field through: - Junior/Senior level coursework in that field - Research or development participation - Strong letters of supportGetting information on grad departments

ThePhysics
GRE weighs heavily for most schools - especially if you are not from a large or well-known undergraduate programImportant acceptance considerations
• GPA: - below 3.6 hinders acceptance into top-ranked programs • Physics GRE: - below 800 hinders acceptance to top-ranked programs - below 600 hinders acceptance into well-regarded programs. • General GRE: - Not an important admissions factor for most Physics programs for which Physics GRE is expected. Some schools require it and minimum requirements must be met. - Elite programs use them to distinguish between applicants with near perfectPGRE's. and 4.0 GPA's.
• Research: - Notable research with good letters and a publication or meeting presentation helps significantly • Letters of recommendation - Good letters from faculty/researchers who have a track record helps significantly. • Knowing/contacting people at the target institution can help.Are you competitive?
• For top ranked programs : GPA>3.7,PGRE>800, + Notable research and very
strong letters • For well-regarded program : GPA>3.5,PGRE>700 +research and strong lettersPGRE>700
+research and strong letters - Admission committee will actually read your transcript and letters • If your GPA is lower, you need great letters and a good story. PGRE usually cannot save an otherwise poor record.Examples of the ranking
of graduate Physics programs • "Top ten" examples - #1 [Harvard, Princeton, Cal Tech, , UC Berkeley],Stanford, MIT, Cornell, Illinois, UCSB, Chicago
• "Next ten" exam p les p - U Penn, Yale, Wisconsin, Michigan, UCLA, UWashington, UCSD, UT Austin, Columbia,
Maryland, Stony Brook
• ~30 -Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Brown,
Rochester, NYU, U Minnesota
A chart from physicsgre.com
• Physics GRE score (>700) is necessary but not sufficient for admission to well-regarded program. (>750 for top ten.) • Physics GRE below 600 seriously decreases chances of getting into a well-regarded program.Best graduate program ranking vs PGRE
