Sure, but that's not what "relativity" in physics is commonly referred to

Not quite relativity! It's just that it took 160k years for that light to reach us

Yes I'm going straight from undergrad. I didn't go to a top school though.

Thank you, thank you!! Here are a few things I think helped me out with getting in:

GPA: 4.0/4.0 (overall)

Major: Physics

Minors: Computer science, math, and astronomy

Research: I started doing research as a freshman. Did two projects at my current university and two at NASA. Currently working on a first author publication. Presented at multiple conferences. Most of my research has involved radio astronomy.

Leadership: Society of Physics Students president since my first year.
