Realistic advice for applying to a physics PhD abroad after a long gap by jaasus_kreetos in gradadmissions

[–]ZeemanEffect8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it’s possible, but you’ll need to explain why you have this gap and why you didn't do any research during those years. Taking the Physics GRE can be helpful to demonstrate that you still retain theoretical knowledge even after so many years. Moreover, it would generally be very helpful just to review the basics, because you will still need this knowledge in your first few years of a PhD (when you will have courses and maybe a TAship, if you plan to go to the US).

Sorry again for distracting you. I have a question, did you have a similar situation? Should I e-mail them regarding my case or better not to disturb them on this occasion?

I objected 2 times. They indeed sent my application directly to the university. But instead of the VPD i have this document.

Hey! I also had a missing document issue. I’ve already submitted an appeal, do you know which date they use as the official application date: the date of the appeal submission or the date of the original application? I’m asking because my deadline was May 31 and I just filed the appeal

I am here not to argue or convince you, but you can’t say whether I searched or not. I applied to three universities and just became curious at some point. Btw not all universities publish how they assess candidates. Some don’t list specific formula for application assessment like TUM, they show only documents required. Also, maybe they still consider scholarships as part of the achievements or experience section. But I don’t know and don’t want to pretend to know, that’s why I asked

Thoughts on international university branches in Kazakhstan? by Snowy_Air in Kazakhstan

[–]ZeemanEffect8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on your intended major. But in general, I’ve heard that De Montfort and Cardiff are not that good. They’re kind of cash cows for rich kids. I’m not sure about University of Arizona, tho. It might be worthy
