I am an international student who want to apply for TOP20 Applied physics/MSE/ECE PhD.
I already have 1 publication as 1st author, (IF=6), 1 as co-author (IF~=9), and 3 papers (1 as 1th author) to submit.
There is a new emerged problem which really bothers me....
The SGRE score is just released recently, and I get 930 (below 90) in physics, yet many of my classmates scored 990.
For most international students whose mother language is not English, we usually take lower score in V while higher in Q and SGRE. So I heard about that most schools have different GRE standard for us.
I really wonder: Will the relatively lower SGRE score be one apparent disadvantage in my application?
Is a SGRE score below 900 or 90% level enough for all student?
