Hello, all.
I've been accepted to some MS programs in EE. My primary concern is that I don't know how to evaluate what I'll "get out of" each program.
I can go to school A. I have a RA offer and a tuition waver at school A from a research group that works on materials for thin-film...
Some of the schools to which I'm applying specifically request a document that describes
an applicant's
- Reasons for applying
- Previous academic background
- Research interests
- Strengths that would not otherwise appear in the application
- Explanations for any weaknesses in the...
Hi, all.
I’m applying to master’s programs in a technical discipline. For about three and 1/2 semesters in college I was severely clinically depressed. And, as I got to learn first-hand, being severely depressed is pretty debilitating, so for three semesters I got B+s, Bs and B-s. My question...
Hi, all.
My friend is teaching a physics class. She personally has worked out and LaTeXed solutions to many of the problems from the class text with the intention of posting them online so students can use them to study. I'm mildly concerned that this might violate some sort of copyright...
I politely submit that you can make decent predictions if you snoop around enough.
In any case, can anyone tell me whether "careers outside of science" includes engineering? Many of the people I've met who have studied physics have been perfectly content to become engineers rather than pure...
I know that multinational oil and natural gas companies actively recruit physicists. For example, Schlumberger gave a recruitment presentation at Jefferson Lab in the summer of 2010. Perhaps not surprisingly, they have a preference for people with experience in the kinds of physics most relevant...
Hello, all.
I'm considering applying to Ph.D. programs in experimental condensed matter physics. My general research interests would be in the electrical and optical properties of materials, particularly semiconductors and nanostructures, and their applications to information and solar energy...
Hey, guys. Thanks for your help.
In response to Vanadium: no, I haven't thought about going to a MS-only institution. Now that you bring it up though, I'm concerned that an MS-only school wouldn't have programs that are as rigorous. Also, in regard to Creighton specifically, I would very...
Hello, all.
I'm looking into applying to master's programs in physics. Unfortunately for me, it seems that very few schools provide fellowships and assistantships to master's students in physics. And, by very few, I mean to say that I haven't found a single one yet. In your experience is this...
