I am applying for UT austin and Columbia for my continuing research in graphene. As a passionate undergraduate research assistant, I have been focused on their respective research group for one year. Having been exploring properties of graphene for almost one year, I strongly desire to join them. However, I do not know whether my poor TOEFL score(73=22+16+17+18) admit me into their schools. I tried to ask their secretaries but I did not receive any reply.
Additionally, my GRE score :V 154(64%), Q 170(99%),A 3.0(11%), and my physics GRE may be a full score(to be known).
Major GPA:3.9; Overall GPA:3.6.
Thank you very much. Any suggestions from you will be appreciated very much.
