I need some advice.
I graduated from a prestigious liberal arts college in May with a 3.0 GPA and a double major in Physics and Astronomy. I had always planned on going to graduate school, but for whatever reason did HORRIBLY on the Physics Subject GRE. Like worse than 15th percentile horribly. I am not sure if this is because I didn't study enough, or the fact that I was petrified of the test and it's life-defining implications, or the fact that a professor convinced me that there was no way I would score higher than the 30th %tile graduating from a liberal arts college. I also did rather poorly on my general GRE- (600s in math a little higher in verbal). I applied to a bunch of physics PHD programs and of course was rejected.
Has my horrible physics GRE score destroyed my chances of getting into any grad program (masters or otherwise)? I know I'll have to take it again before I go for a PhD. I think it shows up on your score report when you report your general score... will this ruin my chances of getting into masters programs with no required physics subject gre?
I currently work for a technical company and was originally hired as a research technician but was recently promoted to applications engineer. Will this job help my chances? thanks
