In 2016 and 2017, members of the UCSD Physics Department and Cool Star Lab organized two weekend-long Southern California Physics GRE and Graduate Admissions Bootcamps, as part of series organized through the California Professoriate for the Advancement of Physics Careers (CPAPC). We've curated these materials on this webpage for those who are planning on taking the Physics GRE in future years.
Additional Physics GRE & Graduate Admissions Bootcamp material can be found on Prof. David Wittman's (UC Davis) curation of the Northern California series hosted here: https://wittman.physics.ucdavis.edu/bootcamp.html Â
The UCSD programs were generously supported by UCSD Department of Physics, the UCSD Division of Physical Sciences, the UCSD Graduate Division, the UCSD Student Affairs Office, the UCSD Office of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, UC Davis Department of Physics, the CSU Long Beach/APS Bridge Program, and individual donors. We thank these organizations for support of these students.
