Well I guess I envy you in that sense then. Its just I find it very hard to find that kindve time during the week to study, and I can only stay in but so much on the weekend before I begin to get depressed and feel lonely.
I really hope you don't think you need to be in a top 10 school or top 5 school to become a professor. Yes, its nearly impossible. But there's research groups even at top 50 schools that will put you on track for a top quality post-doc.

This is good to know. I still have a while before I graduate and my research is going great, so I think most likely if I keep doing what I am doing a publication could result.
I was wondering this today. has it almost become necessary to have publications to get into grad school? I was talking to a grad student today who got denied by state schools with a 3.5 or 3.6 GPA, and no publications. I have plenty of research experience but as of yet have no publications. will...
So obviously I need to choose one professor to do research under. I have meetings scheduled with two professors. If I turn down the offer from one professor, in order to accept another, would the other professor be at all offended? I ask this, because I may return to this professor to do...
I have plans to do research for two professor, all the while running public observatory sessions, which will be minimal, but also alongside a full courseload.
My Courseload:
Differential Equations
University Physics II
Intro to Engineering
Introduction to Systems engineering
English
So...
is this a bad practice? if my GPA does not look high enough for grad school, I may stay and get my masters at my undergrad university, and then look to get a PhD elsewhere.
I don't see why taking a less traditional, maybe even a relaxed course load is necessarily a bad thing though, if you can afford to take some extra time to graduate, you will still graduate having taken the same courses, and can make a claim that you were maximizing your available time, and...
Im a sophomore and already worried i may not graduate on time. so I am wondering if this damages grad school opportunities, or ability to get good jobs?
Sophomore slump help!
I was wondering if anyone else has gone through similar circumstances, and how they handled it. Since High School I've been really passionate about physics and astronomy, and its been my dream in life to get a Physics or Astronomy PhD. This being said I am sure everyone...
i hate my university physics courses, because of how tedious the lab is, how boring the professor is, how the homework is all online, and the material is sometimes beneath me.
the research I've participated in was enjoyable though
yes that is the correct answer. I am looking for help now on what would be the speed of the ice at the bottom if the motion were opposed by a constant friction force of 10.7 parallel to the surface of the ramp?
