    پیش فرض نتایج پذیرش غول های فیزیک در آمریکا

    خودتون قضاوت کنید در برابر این غول ها ( البته برای جلب توجه این واژه را به کار می برم ) ما کجا جاداریم . فکر رفتن به این دانشگاههای تاپ را با این معدل های کم و gre های ضعیفمان، باید از سر بیرون کنیم . قابل توجه بچه های فیزیک GRE SUBJECT حتی برشش از معدل هم بالاتر است و برای رفتن به دانشگاههای TOP خیلی خلییییییییییییییییییییییی یییی مهم است من اینو از یکی از بچه های دپارتمان فیزیک دانشگاه UIUC پرسیدم . باید تلاش کرد این مورد را تا نزدیکیهای 990 بالا کشید .

    پیش فرض پاسخ : نتایج پذیرش غول های فیزیک در آمریکا

    این اطلاعاتمخصوصا درباره نمره زبان و جی آر ای،خوب و مفید هم هستن،اما اگربه خاطر مقایسه کردن گذاشتید،کاملا اشتباهه،همه این دانشجوها،توی دوره یا کلاس خودشون تاپ بودن..از بهترین ها بودن،ولی اون کلاس ها به جز افراد تاپ،دانشجوها دیگه نداشته؟!اونها به هیچ جا نرسیدن؟هیچ جا راهشون ندادن؟
    اینجا مگه همه دانشجو تاپ هستن؟اینطور مقایسه،فقط دانشجوها و افرادی که دنبال ادامه تحصیل هستن رو ناامید میکنه..حداقل توضیح میدادید که افراد متوسط ولی باانگیزه،از کدوم قسمت این نتایج پذیرش میتونن بهره ببرن و چیزی یاد بگیرن،بلکه یه گوشه اش به درد کسی بخوره!وگرنه با دید منفی که کسی تا حالا پیشرفت نکرده...

    خانم یا آقای شباهنگ؛

    راستش جزییاتش که نمره جی آر ای و تافلش چند بود رو نمیدونم؛می تونم بپرسم ازش و بهتون بگم.اما تا جایی که یادمه؛معدلش بالا بود و ریکامندشنی که از دکتر خشروشاهی گرفته بود در گرفتن پذیرشش می گفت خیلی موثر بوده.

    به نظرم امریکا و کانادا و حتی اروپا برای کیهان شناسی و اختر فیزیک خوب پذیرش میدن.معدلتون رو ببرید بالا و روی مقالهکار کنید.با آی پی ام یا انجمن نجوم ایران هم در ارتباط باشید تا بتونید شما هم به نحوی از دکتر خسروشاهی ریکام بگیرید.
