Hello, I have a question and would like to know the opinion of the people in this forum; I have been reading some of it and a lot of people seem to know a lot!
I would like to know what my chances are for the following schools:
UCSD
MIT
NYU
Chicago
Cornell
BU
Washington University
I got a 780 (74%) on the physics GRE. Bit dissapointed since I studied a lot, but it was my first multiple choice test ever.
I think my american GPA would be around 3.5
I spent two semesters at BU as transfer student and took there eight graduate courses and left with a 3.71 for both semesters. Also did an independent study in Classical Dynamics with one of the professors there.
In Madrid, collaborated for a year at a surface science lab. Experiments there done with STM. Also helped in the upgrade of the machine to a better one.
2 letters from BU teachers and 1 from a teacher in Madrid.
Well, thats about it. I would love if someone could give me some feedback on this. It would help me sleep better.

my university in madrid has an exchange program with BU. The program is simple: BU let me register in all the courses I wanted under the status of 'non-degree student'. I spent a year there and took the courses at BU that were closest to the ones I should have taken during that year (fourth of total of five) in Madrid. I initially did not expect them to be at the graduate level. I took QMI, QMII, Stat Mech, Intro. Solid State, Advanced Lab, EMI, Electronics, Class. Dynamics. Intro. Solid State, Adv. Lab and Electronics were more of a mix between seniors and grads.
