Hi, I'm currently pursuing my masters in physics at UIC with a 4.0 GPA and about to publish in Biophysics. I intend to pursue my Ph.D elsewhere and am planning to take the PGRE this fall. Even if my PGRE goes really well, and I have strong recommendation letters, will I be able to get into a top school? The problem is my undergrad GPA which is 2.5/4. But, I didn't major in physics in my undergraduate course. I majored in Civil Engineering.
