ABOUT ME
My name is Naomi, a 3rd year Physics PhD student at Yale University! My goal is to share my experiences from undergrad that helped me get to where I am now, and offer some advice to those who may need it. More will be added to this site as I go through graduate school. For any inquiries, feel free to contact me: ngluckxx@gmail.com

DISCLAIMER:
Although we physicists love formulas, there is no exact formula for getting into a Physics PhD program (or any program for that matter). The tips on this blog are purely from my experience, and there was no one aspect of my application that I can pinpoint that got me to where I am. Even for undergraduate programs, the Ivy League is a long-shot for anyone. Someone with the perfect GPA, exam scores, and extra curricular activities may still not get an acceptance. Grades are important, research is important, letters of recommendation are important. Which one of these things is the golden ticket to success? Your guess is as good as mine...
​
I also want to stress the importance of keeping your sanity throughout any application process, and that your health comes first. If you're staying up all night trying to piece together the perfect application, that's the wrong way to go about things and live a successful academic life.
