physics sophomore trying to transfer. medical physics in mind after graduation
Hello,
I'm a physics Major, and I want to transfer to another school. I have 4 choices: University of Wisconsin - Madison University of illinois at Chicago Indiana University Bloomington Purdue university here is what I would consider: I'm a physics student but what's more important to me, is Medical physics. I want to go graduate school and obtain that degree. Madison, bloomington, and Purdue, offer great undergrad research (true???) and they also offer: Introduction in medical physics as a course. Illinois doesn't offer Introduction to medical Physics but it's the biggest medical schools, and they have affiliation with cancer centers etc... also Chicago is a big big city and beside the crimes(...) it has a lot to offer. Purdue and Madison both have Medical physics graduate programs but purdue's is not Campep-accredited, Madison is. also chicago is the home University of chicago which offers also the Msc in MedPhys so as you can see there are so many variables that I really dont know what to think, so I'm asking for people advices on this thanks in advance |

I would caution against mixing up graduate and undergraduate programs. Just because you complete an undergraduate degree at a particular school doesn't necessarily translate into any advantage to getting into that school's graduate program.
That being said, doing your undergrad at a school with a medical physics program naturally has some advantages in that you could get involved with a medical physics research-project, attend medical physics talks, and get to know professors in that field. The important things for undergraduate work are that you get a strong physics foundation, you do well in your classes, and that you enjoy the program (people who enjoy what they do tend to be a lot more successful than those just slogging through). |

ok so if I put aside the graduate perspective, the best solutions would be to choose between Madison and Purdue then?
