Adjunct fields?
Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 2:52 am
Is anyone trying for a physics-related yet non-physics department? I'm going for 8 astronomy or astrophysics departments; I'm sure that admissions take into account that your physics GRE score won't (necessarily) reflect your ability to excel in the department since many applicants will already have shown specialization in astrophysics. Is anyone aware of some quantifiable adjustment that takes place? Am I the only one in this forum not trying for a physics grad program?
