Eleventh Annual
Northern California
Graduate Physics/Astronomy
Admissions Bootcamp

The 2020 camp was held on Zoom (due to Covid) on September 12, 2020 and served about 40 students.

Resources:

• the agenda
• Pre-camp reading: advice for prospective grad school applicants
• learn more about our camp's (pre-Covid) approach here (bottom of first page).
• presentation slides
• more general (less physics-based) guidelines on the application process by Steve Lee (formerly at the UC Davis Office of Graduate Studies)
• the Physics GRE is canceled this year. See the 2019 bootcamp if you want links to those resources
• APS programs for women and for underrepresented minorities
• a list of postbac programs in physics and astronomy
• GradSchoolShopper, a comprehensive index of graduate programs run by the AIP
• your undergrad program should run a career seminar to expose you to various career options. If they don't, tell them that it's considered part of best practices for a physics department and recruit other students to ask for it as well! But if you can't attend one, here is the next best thing: interviews with speakers at the UC Davis career seminar.
