  1. That is a good point Latte Macchiato! I will see if I can do some certification courses over the next year for the courses you have listed. I have seen a lot of universities offer online courses for those.
  2. Hi all, I am looking to join a PhD program in either Spring '16 or Fall '16. I am preparing for General GRE right now. I have given a GRE in 2007 (1440/1600 - Math 800, Eng 540). Planning to give Physics GRE in April '15. I am looking to short list universities which is on par with my profile (and some ambitious). Any help is humbly appreciated! My profile: Work Experience: - Research Engineer (Sep 2010 - Present) - Medical Simulation company: Create virtual reality based games for surgeons and doctors to play and improve surgical skills. Implemented collision detection, physics based deformable simulations, worked with a variety of input devices (3dconnexion, phantom omni, falcon, hmd, IR camera, depth sensing cameras), haptic based simulations. Used 3D modelling and rendering softwares. Extensively used C++. And used a little of python. - Programmer Analyst (Sep 2006 - Aug 2008) - IT. Java based Investment banking application. Extensively used Java, J2EE, Oracle. Education: M.S. (Mechanical Engg) - University at Buffalo, 2010 (3.02/4 GPA) B.E. (Manufacturing Engg) - College of Engineeing, Guindy, 2006 (7.6/10 GPA) Research: Mathematical Knot tying simulation and knot deduction for a Robotic Surgical Simulator ( ) Software: MS Visual Basic, gcc, Windows, Linux, C++, SQL, MATLAB, OpenGL, CAD applications (ProE, Blender etc), OpenGL. I would like to study about Astro Physics. What would be good schools to apply? What would be good scores in GRE and PGRE? Thinking MIT, Caltech is too far-fetched? What are some good research based institutes? Also, if any PhD Physics people are around Boston (where I work), I would love to meet in person and pick your brain! Thanks in advance for any help!!
