Hey guys, i am an industrial engineering student from india studying in one of the top 5 colleges down here (NIT only next to IIT's). I am applying for 2015. and i have selected few schools as of now. I just wanted to make sure is the list i have is "okay" My profile as of now - 1 Journal articles in physics (general relativity) 4 Projects in physics (2 summer and 2 winter projects) (general relativity and Quantum mechanics) 1 Statistical Math Project 1 project to mathematically model product life cycle (used physics model for solving industrial engineering problems) 1 conference (this summer) 1 Lecture course by Prof michael berry (this summer) 1 Summer school in advance quantum mechanics IMSc (institute of mathematical sciences) Over all GPA now in indian system = 7.2/10 GRE 315 PGRE yet to take. Selected schools - Ambitious - CMU, Zurich Moderate- NSCU , SCSU, WUSTL Other list - SUNNY Buffalo, University of Tennessee - Knoxville, University of Kansas, Michigan State, SUNNY Stony Broke, Univ of Toronto I want to select couple of more univs from the "other list" that i would have a shot on. please do tell me if these selection are over ambitious or okay-ish or too low for my profile. And if i am applying (sending my scores and stuff) to department of physics for masters of physics program, do i have to apply separately for the astronomy(or any other physics) program or would mine be automatically considered for it too ? Thanks a lot in advance
