Hi everyone,
I'm a 2nd year astrophysics and math student and considering the possibility of pursuing a phd in astrophysics. I'm more interested in theory rather than the observational side of astrophysics. I've heard that grad programs tend to see research experience as much more important than maintaining a high gpa. It seems to me, though, that this might not be true in the theoretical astrophysics world. From your experience, is my assumption correct?
I'm not sure my question is entirely clear, so feel free to ask me to clarify.
Thanks
