• 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.

• The Physics Web Log forum behaves exactly like the regular forums except posts are sorted in reverse chronological order and also the originator of the blog is the only person who can post entries.
• Prospective graduate students, current graduate students, post docs, professors, and even physics graduates working in industry encouraged to start a blog.
