    Grad options aside from physics?

    I am currently considering medical physics as my number one option, but it's always good to know there are other things out there. I've also considered doing engineering or economics. I guess I'll have to look into some programs and schools outside of medical physics and see what schools would...

    Grad options aside from physics?

    What other options does one have for grad school with a bachelors in physics outside of doing a masters/PHD in physics? Law school and med school are technically possible I suppose, but what other grad degrees could a physics degree lead to?

    How Competitive are Medical Physics Programs?

    Thanks guys, it's good to know I have some sort of chance, even if it is slim at the moment. I'll have to do my best to pick up my GPA. Choppy, can I ask which program you belong to? (You can PM me if you don't want to post it)

    How Competitive are Medical Physics Programs?

    I still have a year left, but it's about time I worry about grad school. I am set on getting into medical physics, but I am a little worried about my GPA. I'm in Canada, my GPA is currently at 3.33, I am going to be doing a directed studies with a Professor next year and continue being a TA...

    Programs Choosing a program/major that fits my career goals?

    I've recently realized that I am kind of drifting through university without a certain path, despite the fact that I have very definite career goals. More than anything else I am interested in regenerative science and human augementation, and my eventual ideal career would be working in the...

    Post Your Summer/Fall 2012 Class Schedules

    Doing my first year of Science, but plan on transferring into engineering after this year. (I just spent a year upgrading, I'm worried I won't be able to handle the workload of engineering, so easing into things with a year of science. Taking applicable courses of course!) Fall: Calculus I...

    Finding where an electron is relative to a charge?

    Homework Statement 25cm to the right of a 0.5 microcoulomb charge is a -1.2 microcoulomb charge. Where (relative to the 0.5 microcoulomb charge) would a free electron be if the net electric force on the electron is zero?Homework Equations Fe=kq1q1/r2 E=kq/r2The Attempt at a Solution I keep...

    Prove the relationship between kPa and mmHg?

    This question was a lot easier than it felt at the time, just stepped entirely away from chemistry for a bit and looked at it as a math problem, what you said helped me get into the right mindset. I even got an extra mark for pointing out the mistake in the problem. (1 Pa equals 1kg/s2m, not...

    Prove the relationship between kPa and mmHg?

    I suppose this is more of a math question, but it's a bonus question in my chemistry upgrade class. Homework Statement Prove the relationship 760mmHg=101.35kPa mathematically, by using conversion factors. Homework Equations 1 Pa=1 kgm/s2 (No it doesn't?...) density of Hg=13.6g/cm3...
