I see, I definitely have to look after what requirements for grad school are covered by the biomedical physics major and what can be waived/substituted by them.
The requirements that aren't covered I'll definitely have to take later in order to apply. (This will eventually get me a BS in Physics...
Because I like regular physics better than biomedical physics, but the latter keeps my opportunities open for later in case I decide to pursue either med school or a physics PhD, while leaving me with good enough career opportunities if I didn't pursue either fields.
I think I mislead everyone...
I’ve yet to have any medical experience honestly, but I’m definitely going to look into it and take your advice and see what I can do to finalize my decisions. This is very helpful, thank you.
That does summarize the scenario, except that so far the main plan is med school and the fallback plan is biomedical physics because it has promising career opportunities. Now the reason I’m considering med school even though I really want a physics PhD is because as far as I know it has the...
My advisor suggested that I take a biomedical major because of my early confusion of whether to get into grad school for physics or med school. This major as she said is the best physics based one to cover the necessary prereqs for med school, and a great fall back plan incase that doesn’t work...
Oh it’s not like that. I have talked to my advisor about this, but I was just trying to see what other people would say so I would have a broader understanding of what is best.
It’s too soon for me to feel this anxious about which decision to make later, but it’s best to stay ahead of things...
As I’m doing more research and talking to my college advisor I learned that I don’t need a master’s degree to get into grad school and earn a doctorate, and that my field of study (Biomedical Physics) has various common classes with the Advanced Physics major.
Would it be worth more to take an...
For me that isn't a problem, I'd prefer taking science courses such as biology or organic chemistry. But my only issue is the time factor now, I was barely able to take 6 credits in my first semester because my transcripts took too long to be processed from Lebanon. But also because I took high...
I'm currently doing a biomedical physics major because it's the best choice to follow the med school track in something physics related, and is a really good fallback plan as my advisor described it. Now my true passion is in physics and I really want to get a PhD later on, so if I didn't make...
