I was planning to go and try med school for a year to see whether it's my thing and also because of the insecurity of a career in Physics... But in case I decide that I really can't live without Physics, then I'll come back to it...just wanted to make sure this is still going to be an option...

Or maybe put it this way, have you ever met someone that did so and was still able of going on to grad school?

Hi, I'm going into my junior year and I was thinking of taking a gap year to do something entirely different than Physics. Do grad schools look down on people who took a gap year during the progress of their degree? Will they require you to explain what happened during that year? Thanks! :smile:

I'm a bit confused. For example, suppose the initial width of the wave packet was 1mm, then I have a very good chance of finding the particle within 1mm of the original position I created it since the probability is very high in that region. After it dispersed, shouldn't the probability be so...

Hi, I've been reading a QM book and it mentions that particles can be represented as a wave packet, which provides a description for particles simultaneously as a wave and particle. It also mentions that the wave packets disperse, and the width becomes extremely large for free microscopic...

Thanks for the reply. It seems that my issue is a bit different. Once I get started on studying, I can study for extensive periods of time. The issue is most of the times I just can't get started. It seems like opening the book, getting my notes and stick to my plan is the hardest thing I could...

Hi everyone, I'm a rising junior in a decent university in my country and I'm doing reasonably well in my classes and would like to grad school. Feeling that I have the competence to learn a bit more, I've always wanted to go beyond the standard syllabus and also train myself as a good problem...
