easiest Phd Physics programs to get into

[delsub]

hi

I wanted to get into Phd program from January, but plan did not work out. Now I am applying for Fall.

I HAVE to get admission SOMEWHERE. for observational astronomy

So I am looking for dead easy safety schools - any adventurous applying I will do will be for mid ranked colleges in the north - east coast.

GPA - 3.3 in masters from Texas A & M
GRE = V.Q.Phys = 620. 800. 640
good thesis in Observational Astro.

can you please recommend some dead easy colleges anywhere in usa, esp in east coast.

[delsub]

Please experts help me - i need to get in somewhere - else my physics career is over !!

Would you advise that i dont ask for astronomy and instead indicate something (with less strict criteria) like planetary or atmospheric physics instead?

Help !!

look for anywhere with year-round rolling admission--they don't do the compare/contrast/shoot-for-an-entering-class thing, so it's a bit easier to get in. The only places I know of are UC Riverside (partially rolling, they had a fellowship deadline that passed) and UC Merced, but they're on the west coast and are state schools, which means they might not take an international student. I'm sure there are more, though.

[photomagnetic]

dude there is not a term such as easy.

[delsub]

relatively easy.

or is there a website that ranks all the physics phd programs in usa?

[delsub]

is this reliable ??

[delsub]

this could be better - but some rankings dont even make sense -

here is a way to get an overview of the college but not the phys dept

Tufts, NO DOUBT

HAHAHA love the sarcasm. EVERYONE knows it's impossible to get into Tufts, best school in Boston.

tufts is a weird one.
one of my friends applied there last year. he got accepted eventually for experimental cosmology.
there are only 2 prof were working on that. somehow graduate admissions didnt know that and my friend got a rejection at first.
then he called them they said sorry and made an offering.
weird weird.

Help !!

Most of the large state schools in the midwest where nobody wants to live. There are only a few exceptions to that rule.
