Hello
I have done BSc in Physics from Dhaka University,Bangladesh. We do not have GPA system here, just the British style class system. My result and scores are like this
BSc Result :2nd class 59.3% marks
GRE Verbal:670 Quantitative:760 Analytical:4.0
Physics GRE: Hoping around 700 to 800 (Probably it would be 750 or something, sitting for it on November)
And I have no research experience to be worthful.
I am thinking about applying for PhD in Duke University, Northwestern University, Texas A&M University and mostly universities ranking between 30-50. These gradschools are not giving their average GRE scores.So what are my chances in those schools?Especially in schools like Duke , Georgia Tech and Texas A&M. Should I target schools below this range?I am quite in a fix here as to choose my gradschool.
