    Chances of getting into medical physics programs

    This is just an update for anyone in the future that may have similar credentials when applying... I applied to Cincinnati's DMP program, Duke- MS, Kentucky, Cleveland State, Toledo, East Carolina, Indiana-Bloomington, Georgia Tech, and VCU. I was rejected from Cinci and Duke. I never got a...

    Chances of getting into medical physics programs

    Thank you! IUB said they are affiliated with Purdue, which is up for re-accredidation this spring, so they will be included with Purdue when that happens and have no reason to believe that they would not gain accreditation then. I really appreciate IUB and their honesty and kindness towards me...

    Chances of getting into medical physics programs

    Just a quick update for anyone in the future that may have a similar background. So far I have been accepted to Toledo, Indiana-Bloomington(not yet CAMPEP accredited), and I have an interview at Kentucky. Apparently my x-ray background is helping me quite a bit so far considering my GPA and GRE...

    Should I retake GRE for Medical Physics (Master's)

    Ok thank you! I think I may try to retake it since I know that I can do better if I had more time to prepare and practice with timing (I ran out of time on both Q sections and had to completely guess on 6-8 questions without even reading them). Unfortunately, I will have to use these scores for...

    Should I retake GRE for Medical Physics (Master's)

    I just finished taking my GRE and I am a bit unsatisfied with my scores and am debating if I should retake it before the application deadlines. I got a 156Q and 150V... below is my resume thus far. I posted the following on here before.. so apologies for repeating the same post, but I felt it...

    Chances of getting into medical physics programs

    Ok thank you so much for your help! I was really hoping that my background in radiation sciences would help me. Also, you mentioned that I should schedule a visit to campus. When would be a good time to do that if I plan on applying for fall of 2014? I would love to start doing that now, but I...

    Chances of getting into medical physics programs

    Would it hurt me tremendously if I couldn't fit those classes into my schedule? They offer the upper level classes here every two years and I don't think I could get into any of those before I plan to graduate. I have had a lot of exposure to compton, photelectric, etc. while in x-ray school...

    Chances of getting into medical physics programs

    From what I understand, I would have to find a local clinical site for the online program and I would have to travel there every so often for labs and such, but I haven't looked into it all that much. I basically just know it's an option haha

    Chances of getting into medical physics programs

    I will have principles of physics I/II with labs(intro courses), Electricity & Magnetism I, Thermal Physics, Modern Physics w/ advanced lab, Quantum Mechanics I, Mechanics, and Biomedical Physics. The classes dropped from Marshall's pure Physics degree is E&M II, Quantum II, and Math Methods...

    Chances of getting into medical physics programs

    I've looked into Georgia tech and I was considering their distance learning program. Do you know anything about it? I have a 5 year old daughter and I am trying to stay as close to home as possible or I wouldn't even consider the online program.

    Choppy- I'm not very sure about all of the upper level classes, that's just what I was told by my advisor. Here is the link to our website for this program. Maybe that will be of some help explaining it. I had to take mechanics, which it says you don't have to take. I decided to take this route...

    Chances of getting into medical physics programs

    I will be graduated soon from Marshall University with a B.S. in physics with an area of emphasis on medical physics (This program drops some of the upper level physics classes that aren't necessary for medical physics and replaces them with upper level chemistry and biology). I am planning on...
