bwahaha auto correct, yes you are right. *dent* And yes an intro chem and microbiology are pre-reqs.

Getting into nursing school is extremely competitive. You need very a very high GPA and TEAs scores. You don't need physics for nursing. You will need college algebra and eventually statistics. Focus on those. Don't do other, harder classes that can put a dentist into your GPA. If you really...

Awesome thanks!

My program only requires that I take C++ or Fortran. It seems like most students I have asked are only taking C++, I'm thinking of doing both. I'm planning on asking my advisor as well, but so far I've been really underwhelmed with my meetings with him. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Sitting with my roommate who is an RN, she says in her experience teenagers don't get to shadow in the OR, or even very often unless they know people. She advises that you contact some medical schools for advice. She also says she works with a lot of ER techs (they have to be emts at her...

I just wanted to say thank you for this thread, I feel as though I could have written it and just reading through the conversation really helped me get an idea of how to tackle my internship applications. Great responses as always Dishsoap, thanks!

I definitely don't want to end up in medical physics, I have too many family members involved in the medical field and its a little soured for me. Thank you for your thoughts, I'm trying to go into this with my eyes as wide open as possible. I'm not afraid of a challenge but I also haven't...

Because of the competition? I'm only a sophomore, still deciding what direction I want to go in, but I love Astrophysics, its really what's drawn me into this area. If I can't do research are there still industry related jobs for astrophysics so I can be at least somewhat in this field? I'm just...

Here is what my friend says, we happened to be talking when I saw this, she's an RN: Please tell them NOT to become a nurse unless that's what they want. For one, its not fair to their fellow nurses or their patients. Its a tough field and you have to love it and if its not your passion it...

I'm still looking into it, but we get a lot of speaker regarding optical physics and several companies sought out some of the seniors who graduated last year.

thank you, that's my plan. After posting this I found a list of a bunch that I read through looking for my interests so now I have a list of 30! I'll look up what you posted. Do you know when they start accepting applications? All the pages I am finding were for last year. Looks like most stop...

I'm trying to think ahead and start looking for summer internships, I'll be done with my sophomore year of physics by then. I know there are a lot out there, I know of a few, have stumbled on a few, how do I find more? I know that getting as much experience as possible is necessary for my...

Thank you mircomass. I do have time to decide which classes to take. But I appreciate the input because I feel like I am on the right track with my thought process.

Hello. Just wanted to introduce myself. I am an accidental physics major. It wasn't exactly my intention going to college, but after completing most of GEs I finally decided this was where I should be. I'm a junior but only in the first year of physics. Still trying to narrow down exactly what...

I don't have a definitive goal yet. I've been looking up what research is being done now at some of the other universities in my area to see what peaks my curiosity in hopes that will help me narrow down my direction. This is actually one of the reasons I came to consider a materials engineering...
