Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Georgia State University (Atlanta, GA) en mar 2014
Entrevista
Along with the Applications, TOEFL, GRE and Physics GRE I had to give an interview to the faculty member I wanted to work with. The Statement of Purpose was the most important part of the application. This place did not require a very high Physics GRE score. After reviewing my application, an interview was scheduled with the graduate director just to make sure I was of a sound mind.

Entrevista
I was already a Master's student for one year when I applied. There are orientations and tours for the out-of-towners, but I didn't attend those since I already worked there. Applicants are divided into groups based on their subject area concentrations. There were two rounds of group interviews, meaning multiple applicants and faculty members in each session. A faculty member asks a question, and each applicant responds in order. A little unnerving, as you have to commit or worry about one-upsmanship; there is an unfair advantage to the first or last in line, depending on how you look at it.

What do you plan to do after getting your PhD? This is a difficult question and really not appropriate: PhDs are long and they typically change your career outlook, depending on how you adapt to the academic research world.
