  1. Hi, I am an undergraduate going into Senior year at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am a double major in Physics and Computer Science, and I want to go to graduate school, either for Nuclear Physics or Robotics. I would prefer to study Robotics, but all of my research experience is in Physics, and I know research is important for getting into graduate school. I am worried that my lack of experience in robotics research will count against me for applying to a robotics program. I have a 3.67 GPA, a 160 on verbal reasoning and 165 on quantitative reasoning GRE scores, I had two software development internships (one at Amazon) and an REU in Nuclear Physics and I've been researching High Energy Particle Physics for the past 3 years. I'm going to take a course in Embedded Systems, which will be focused on building a robot over the semester, and I'm going to talk to the professor about doing research this semester. I would like to avoid applying to schools that I have little to no chance of getting into, but have no idea how to gauge my chances of getting into a particular school. Is there any advice you can give me on which schools I should apply to for both Nuclear Physics and Robotics, or on how to estimate my chances of getting in to a program in those fields?
