BSc Physics

Post by roshan2004 » Wed Jun 09, 2010 6:46 pm

I have finished my B.Sc Physics recently and want to join graduate program in US. However the problem is my B.Sc course was of three years and I have heard that it requires 4 years undergraduate program to join graduate program in US. So,my question is if I take GRE Physics and secure good marks , do I have good possibility to get admitted in graduate program in US.

It depends on how well you've done in your undergraduation. In my case, I feel, getting a masters degree and a chance to do research helped, since I had absolutely no research experience after completing B.Sc. Certain grad schools accept students with a 3 year undergraduate degree but I know that Harvard, UIUC and hence many of the top schools require Asian students to atleast be in their final year of masters.

I think you gotta finish your M.Sc.

Thanks for the advice as it really helped me, but I would already be 27 when I finish my M.Sc.Will age be a problem?
