Seventh Annual
Northern California
Graduate Physics
Admissions Bootcamp

The camp took place at UC Davis August 13-14, 2016 and served 75 students from across the country. Thanks to the National Science Foundation (grant number 1518246) and the UC Davis Office of Graduate Studies for funding us!

Resources:

• Agenda
• my advice for prospective grad school applicants (pre-camp reading assignment)
• more general (less physics-based) guidelines on the application process by Steve Lee at the UC Davis Office of Graduate Studies
• Damien Martin's slides with Physics GRE tips and illustrative practice problems
• the slides I showed at the camp, extending that advice
• GREphysics.net, a very useful resource for Physics GRE problems
• a comprehensive self-guided 16-week Physics GRE study program from the University of Washington
