General requirements
- Note that we no longer accept the Physics GRE as part of our application process. Additionally, due to continued disruptions posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have opted not to accept the General GRE for this coming year (2023).
- Related to this, we affirm that we will not view CR/NCR or equivalent grades in the 2020-21 academic year negatively in graduate applications in future years.
- The decision to take classes for CR/NC will not be held against applicants in our graduate admissions process, and this applies to all courses, including those that count for the Astronomy or Physics major.
