Wise to ask "What do you look for in a prosp. grad student?"

  • 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.

I'm getting some incredibly amazing replies by asking this to professors in the Columbia EESC department. In fact, it seems to be a far better question than "are you taking any new graduate students?"

Is this highly unusual?
