so I did my first GRE this morning (well, first GRE that would count), and I got Verbal: 690, Quant: 780. Currently I am taking a specialist (similar to 2 majors) in physics, and a major in math at University of Toronto (people rank it the 22nd in North America). My GPA in the relevant subjects is 3.7, and it may translate higher, because I heard rumors that the max in the State is 4.3, but it is 4.0 in Canada. GPA with all subjects combined is 3.41 (not too good with humanities here), and I am seeking grad school in physics. I have research experience in math and physics, but I don't have publication.

Is there a chance that I can get into good grad schools in the States? All I am looking for is a school at the same level or higher level compare to University of Toronto, and I would prefer schools on the west coast. Are there some suggestions for the schools that I can get into?

thank you so much!!
