Your writing style make it seem like you are begging for acceptance, in my opinion. Write it in a way that shows objectively why they must accept you and not because you had some hard times but because you are good enough for the college. ^This part is good though.

"what ever" is really vague. I mean, there are some things you can/cannot do with a PhD in physics, and the same goes for EE. Or it depends, you might be the next Tesla. Another thing, I think that once you go for that which you really like, you would only "want" to do things that is within that...

Side note: I already spent 1 and a half yrs in college, although technically I'm still a freshman in the college of engineering.

I liked physics but I was sort of afraid cause I thought I wouldn't be able to come up with original ideas like Einstein and Newton did so I chose biology. After a year, I changed major into ME. Because biology just doesn't feel the way it did back in HS, it wasnt what I thought it was. I wanted...

Thanks for your replies. Yes, I'm not from the US, I'm from the Philippines. I'm a freshman taking BSc in Mechanical Engineering. Our curriculum is strictly fixed, it doesn't allow students to take any minors nor any other classes that is not included in it, the only physics course we are to...

Hi guys, unfortunately I was denied by the registrar to switch my major from mech. engineering to physics. I still want to be a physicist tho. Anyone here who have studied physics in grad school with a BSc in engineering? Any advice on what to do to prepare myself for grad school in physics...

Study and practice doing problems. What else should you do?

What programming language would you recommend for physics students?

What's "real" math?

1. What does an experimental physicist do? What does a theoretical physicist do? 2. What does it take to be an experimentalist? What does it take to be a theorist? (In terms of ability, courses taken, skills, etc.) 3. Work conditions, career options, financial freedom, intellectual freedom...

How good is the Perimeter Institute? I'm also looking for international education opportunities.

Why don't you try getting a master's in engineering?

Of course you start by looking for a suitable school.

Then go for physics. Its like a year's delay from taking com sci to a lifetime of fulfillment. That is if you really want physics. Having significant results by doing independent research without even finishing undergrad in physics is unlikely.

Yes, I think your project director is the best authority to write the letter since he had seen how well you do research.
