Info to consider
I will be taking more than enough physics courses to satisfy a physics major at the Univeristy of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma State University.
SWOSU does not offer a physics major, but offers an engineering physics major. Thus, I will only be able to satisfy a physics minor. I have been attending SWOSU for a year and 1/2 now, and I like it here, so I want to stay if possible. I get a full ride scholarship to SWOSU because of my GPA and other stuff, but I won't get a full ride to OU or OSU.
I would get an engineering physics degree, but I find engineering courses (what I like to call "bridge building" courses) to be as plain and boring as rubbing my forehead on sand paper for 1/2 an hour (and, yes, I've done that before).
I currently have a 4.0 GPA and plan on keeping it that way.
I know I will score high on the PGRE and general GRE because I will study intensively for both and have scored in the top 4% or better on all of the standardized tests I have taken thus far (ACT, IQ).
I will do at least 2 Summer REUs for physics (preferably particle physics).
Question: Will grad schools look past my label of "physics minor" while considering all of the information above?
