schrodingersmistress Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I know that female applicants in physics are more carefully considered for physics phd programs since there are so few of them. I was wondering if anyone knew what they are looking for in females. I am fairly well rounded: I've been published, decent GPA, excellent research experience, a good job working with physics in neurosciences, good gre scores, and really good rec letters. My physics GRE score is not good though but I have heard from alot of professors that female gre scores are not considered as heavily because females tend to do poorly on the physics gre. I was just wondering if anyone had any specific information for women getting into the phd progams for physics. Some numbers and statistics would be nice too or even some links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlife Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I can guess that for your piece of mind you would like to know statistics. But in the end, you cannot change who you are, so knowing what they look for in a "female" will not help you much, will it now? Good luck anyways...
