"Free" PhysicsGRE.com T-shirts

[Grant]

The PhysicsGRE.com T-shirts are designed to promote PhysicsGRE.com and to encourage participation in certain aspects of PhysicsGRE.com with the goal of helping prospective and current physics graduate students.



It looks a lot better in person. It is a haines tagless t-shirt that is a "natural" color instead of white. The ink is black. The sizes we currently have are M, L, and XL.

To get a PhysicsGRE.com t-shirt mailed to you free of any charge you need to follow the four steps below.

Step I - You need to provide a continental US address for us to send the t-shirt to. This address can be a friend who lives in the US and can foward the t-shirt to you, your physics department address, a P.O. Box, your work address, your address, etc.

Step II - You will need to complete whatever the current simple task is. If you scroll down to the bottom of this thread you will see the current simple task.

Step III - After you complete the simple task you will need to send a private message to the username "Mrs.grant" (see the post immediately below this one to clearly see how to send a PM to Mrs.grant) and in the private message be sure to indicate your size (M, L, or XL), the continental US address to mail the shirt to, and provide a link to the task you completed to meet the simple task qualifications of Step II.

Step IV - Understand that PhysicsGRE.com reserves the right to refuse any request for a free t-shirt for any reason without even needing to provide justification. However, if you are a legitimate person who is not trying to abuse a free t-shirt system and you completed the simple task in a manner that will benefit current and future physics students then you can feel confident you will receive your free shirt.

Notes:

By default we do not allow a person to earn more than one free PhysicsGRE.com t-shirt. If you want another t-shirt for free then I am sure we can work something out but it will not be as easy completing another simple task. It will be more along the lines of completing a simple task times two or a simple task squared.

Current Simple Task

You currently have two simple tasks to choose from.

1) Reply to one of the school profile threads.

Note: You don't have to be an authority on a school to share your knowledge. Also, you don't have to write something long to add value. For example, if you are considering a particular school then you could simply write a few sentences about why you are considering a particular school.

OR

2) Write an article.

Note: Writing an article is quite a bit more involved than adding a few sentences to a profile. However, if there are people sitting on the fence waiting to write an article then perhaps this will provide some motivation.
