Hi, guys, just received my PGRE score today and would like to post my profile here to get some suggestions on school selection.
Undergrad Institution: 300ish worldwide according to QS, 7th in China
Major(s):Physics
Minor(s):N/A
GPA in Major:92/100
Overall GPA:91.5/100
Length of Degree: 4
Position in Class: top 1
Type of Student: International Asian Female
GRE Scores : revised
Q:170
V:156
W:3
P:980
TOEFL Total: 104(Speaking 24)
Research Experience:
1.5 years doing graphene theory stuff, no publication.
9 months doing quantum computation theory, one 1st author paper about to submit.
Senior thesis on black hole thermodynamics, just started 1 month ago.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions:
just some awards for getting high GPAs.
Pertinent Activities or Jobs:
Nope.
Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help:
Summer school at Peking U, learning topological quantum states, got 98/100.
Summer school at Fudan U, learning QCD and strong interaction, got A(90-100).
Special Bonus Points: (Such as connections, grad classes, famous recommenders, female or minority status etc...)
Female and Asian may just cancel.
Grad classes:
last semester: QM, EM, Standard Model, Solid State.
