Hello, I am a student at a top 50 physics school. I have honestly no idea where I rank and what kinds of schools I should think about applying to because I can't seem to find any concrete facts online.
I am a rising senior with these stats:
Grades
3.41 GPA - General
3.56 GPA - Physics, but from mid sophomore year->now it has always been 3.8+
Research Experience
I have worked at CERN for 8 months and can get excellent recommendations from there as well as from professors at my university. I also have worked for 6 months for a professor at my university, although I didn't get anything out of it.
Publications
one publication as lead author from CERN. might get another by the end of my time here, but probably not lead author
Extra Curriculars
I am scholarship chair for my fraternity and was president of a small club.
I was looking at big shot schools like Harvard/MIT etc, but have no idea what kind stats they seem to take.
My question for you guys is how highly ranked schools do you think I have a chance of getting into, and what GRE score would I need to get to do this.
Thanks in advance
