About PhysGAAP
The Graduates Advising Graduate Admissions (GAGA) is a group comprising MIT Physics graduate students interested in ensuring that talented students of all backgrounds are given due consideration for our graduate program. GAGA was founded in the summer of 2020, and one of our main programs is the Physics Graduate Application Assistance Program (PhysGAAP), whose development was led by Mason Ng and Dominika Ďurovčíková.
