Study.

I know ... I just like to plan for the future and I'd like to know, generally, the path to CERN as an undergrad.

axiom and eldu: Would you mind sharing your GPA and extra curricular activities prior to being accepted to the program, and how you think the CERN experience impacted your grad-school prospects? I ask because I haven't started my studies in Physics, yet ... I'd like to have an idea how to...

Hello again! Has anyone applied to CERN's summer program, or, had undergraduate research experience at CERN, or, know anyone who has? If so, would you like to share that experience? I can only imagine how awesome that experience would be! Thanks!

Hello! Is it possible for me to do an REU at an institution other than my degree awarding institution? If so, is this encouraged? Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I'm taking 6-7 credits of Independent Study over the course of two, maybe three summers, all aimed at research experience, plus, I'm doing an honors thesis - none of these credits will conflict with my fall or spring classes. Do you suggest I take the Independent...

"You risk ending up as a jack of all trades, but master of none." Joker: Good Point.

hadsed, Thanks for the reply. I'll keep your advice in mind.

Jokerhelper: I'm looking for input, not put-downs. I read: ZapperZ's So You Want To Be A Physicist - this person advises anyone who want's to be a Physicist to have a firm grasp on FORTRAN and C+, so I added a minor. If you compare my two spreadsheets, you will see I subtracted additional...

I attached my proposed course of study; I'm triple majoring in Physics, Astronomy and Math, and minoring in Computer Science - I start in Fall 2011. I already earned a B.S. in Business so all the outside requirements for the 2nd B.S. have been satisfied and that is why you won't see anything...

There are 168 hours in a week. 168hrs - (40hrs for work + 40hrs for study) = 88 hours remaining. 88hrs - (8hrs of sleep x 7 nights a week) = 32 hours remaining 32hrs - (7hrs for the gym + 10hrs for travel and food shopping) = 15 hours remaining 15hrs for miscellaneous use; 23hrs if...

I'm in the same boat, kind-of - I'm going back to school to work on a second B.S. and I'm going to triple major in: Physics, Math and Astronomy while working full-time and studying full-time. I will have no life but I'm willing to sacrifice it to achieve this goal.

Hello, I'm returning to school in the fall of 2011 to pursue a second bachelor's degree - I intended to triple major in: [Physics, Math and Astronomy] and then enroll in a PhD program to study high energy particle physics. It has been a while since I attended college and, as a...
