<p>I am a senior undergraduate in Canada, where a grade point of 4.30 or 4.33 is given for A+s.
(My school, Simon Fraser University, gives 4.33)</p>
<p>My CGPA is slightly above 4.0.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me rougly how high I would have to score on the GRE gen/sub
(or at least the percentiles) to get into the physics programs of the Ivy League schools?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I could only find the GRE info for one school. The average Quantitative was 777, and the average Verbal was 588.</p>
<p>research matters 100 times more than GRE - it's assumed that people will have very high quant scores and verbal scores don't really matter. The GRE won't "get you in" anywhere, but it can keep you out if you completely bomb it</p>
<p>Good point. Here's advice I got. It's for biology, but still insightful.</p>
<p>
<ul> <li>high GPAs, high GRE scores (the best grad f'ships rely heavily on these numbers)</li> <li>strong letters of recommendation from professors in fields related to your desired course of study</li> <li>a clear statement of purpose - what within your program do you wish to focus on theoretically, geographically, and chronologically, and why is Michigan/Penn/Berkeley etc. the place you feel best fits your needs?</li> </ul>
<p>This last has become increasingly important - in ecology, for instance, my colleagues and I would want to see that you know what our research foci are, and have a real reason to want to work with one or more of us and/or a desire to combine working with us with tapping other strengths in the biology department (such as oceanography or forestry).
