• This has become our largest and most active forum because the physics GRE is just one aspect of getting accepted into a graduate physics program.
• There are applications, personal statements, letters of recommendation, visiting schools, anxiety of waiting for acceptances, deciding between schools, finding out where others are going, etc.

• As many already know, studying for the physics GRE and getting accepted into a graduate program is not the final hurdle in your physics career.
• There are many issues current physics graduate students face such as studying for their qualifier, deciding upon a field of research, choosing an advisor, being an effective teaching assistant, trying to have a social life, navigating department politics, dealing with stress, utilizing financial aid, etc.
