Apply to grad school or not
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 6:26 pm
I've been browsing around this forum and it seems like a pretty good place to ask about graduate schools.
I'm currently a senior at a public University in the US. I recently took the standard GRE and don't know my scores yet due to the new scoring system but my ranges seemed good. My GPA is currently 3.8 and I'll be taking the Physics GRE this coming weekend. I worked with a professor on a research project this previous summer, although no publication was produced from the work.
I'm really wondering whether or not I should apply to graduate school. It's always been a plan of mine to go, but I'm not sure I have the experience or direction (field of research) that I feel is necessary for attending.
So, what I'm wondering is, If I wait to go to grad school, where should I be looking. I know I need more research and hands on experience in the field, but most programs are only for students (undergraduate or graduate).
