What typical GRE and GPA scores are required to gain admission?
As mentioned above, the Physics Department sets no specific minimum for the GRE and GPA score required for admission. The decision on admission is based on the entire application record. The scores below can be used as guidelines and are taken from the admission offers made for the 2009/10 academic year. The scores define the middle 70% (about 1 sigma) of the range of scores of all admitted students. This means about 15% of the applicants who received offers had a score above the reported maximum and 15% had a score below the reported minimum. Please keep in mind, a particular applicant might have individual test scores that fall in quite different parts of their respective distributions. For example, one applicant might have a score in the bottom 25% on the General Verbal Exam and a score in the top 25% on the Physics Subject exam. The data are for all offers including US and international applicants and include both the numerical score and the percentile (in parentheses) as reported
