Notes
I completed my undergraduate program earlier this year, and this is my second year in a row applying to Ph.D. programs (I made it into none last year). I spent one year prior to college working with a research group at a university back home. I worked continuously for all four years of college with another research group in the same subfield as that in which I hope to pursue doctoral research. I attended three NSF-funded summer REU programs, and presented at two research symposia. GPA within the physics major was around a 3.9. I received honors, and completed a year-long senior research thesis parallel to my other research involvement with yet another research group.
