    The field of math being more competitive than the field of physics?

    I've taken my fair share of standard undergraduate courses, such as a course on linear algebra using Hoffman and Kunze, a course on topology (half point-set and half algebraic) using Munkres, and a course on measure theory using Stein. However, how advanced the courses themselves were doesn't...

    The field of math being more competitive than the field of physics?

    My experience has been the exact opposite. I've taken quite a few math classes and have never received less than an A- in any of them; however, in the one introductory physics course I took, I was lucky to scrape by with a C+. I think physics requires some knowledge about how things work in...

    National Student Clearing House dilemma

    Perhaps you could anonymously ask people at several medical schools to which you are not applying whether or not they check with the clearing-house. If a significant portion of them don't, I wouldn't pursue the matter further. However, if a lot of them do check, then you should either append...

    How hard does this test look to you?

    I thought that the exam was somewhat easier than high-school level math competitions in the US (i.e., AIME-level competitions). I was never much good at those, thought; the times in parentheses indicate how long it took me to arrive at the solution, but without writing a neat proof. 1. I...
