High GRE, low GPA. Where should I apply?
Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2012 9:01 pm
Overall GPA - 3.05
Physics GPA - 3.25
Physics GRE - 910
My grades have a slight upward trend and I received an anomalous 3.9 avg my last semester. I also have some research experience (over a spring semester and over the summer). I'm not sure what schools I should apply to, my low GPA makes me think I might not get in anywhere.
Two questions:
What specific schools should I look at?
Is my GPA so low that I should only apply for MS programs instead of PhD?
Thanks in advance.
