Hey all,
I recently got back my GRE scores and you can probably guess that I'm disappointed with them. I made the decision in mid-May - 2 years out of undergrad - to work towards and apply to grad school, but right now I'm feeling pretty low about it. How does my profile seem?
BS in Physics from UMass Dartmouth, 2016
GPA 3.665
GRE Scores: V161 Q158 W4.0
Physics GRE: 600 (that hurts to even type...)
Research experience in undergrad, presented and defended in various places and wrote a thesis-style report
Work experience as a (biology) research assistant. I'm co-author to a paper on this that is anticipating publication.
Recs from research leaders above and a mentor/co-worker/physicist from the research position.
I think my experience is good, and I believe my recommendations will have weight, but I'm really bummed about the Physics GRE. Is it going to sink me the way I'm fearing? Do I even stand a chance to begin with?
Thanks
