Just heard back from AAPM, they only had 7 fellowships to give out this year when in past years they give out 13-15 :( Got an email I was a runner up and I'll hear about an offer by March 7th but then 15 minutes later got one saying I wasn't selected. So I guess that leaves me in a grey area...

Not quite physics related but I applied to the AAPM summer undergraduate fellowship and am curious to know when/if anyone receives anything from them! Also applied to the REU at RIT in imaging sciences but don't hear back till mid march.

Rejection letter from Jefferson Lab, anyone hear anything more from Vanderbilt? They're my last chance.

Expanding on Rangerazlm, Vanderbilt said they should've gotten confirmation of their NSF grant renewal three weeks ago but due to an in office error they just got it yesterday and they're doing final selection and will be sending out offers this week, best of luck to anyone who applied!

Okay, thanks. It just means that they need to ensure that the NSF will give them the money for your REU before they can send out offers.

How did you hear this? Did they email you or did you ask them about the status?

Because I've loved my physics classes, I took three years of them in high school and enjoyed every one, and I've really enjoyed my physics classes in college. I know about engineering, but I can't say I've found a topic within it that interests me, I have studied circuits somewhat in my E&M...

Thank you, this is the kind of stuff I've been looking for, I'm still not entirely sure I don't want to go for a PhD in physics.

Physics is something I know I want to do, I don't know what else I would want to major in, I just get nervous that there's this super low unemployment rate, but there's no set jobs that physics sets you up for, like engineers. I couldn't see myself being an engineer or anything else.

I think it's because there's not many job postings that say "BS in physics or equivalent" I've been really nervous lately that I'm wasting my time in college with physics, that stat looks good but I can never find examples of what people go into.

I'm not looking to switch to chemistry, I'm not a huge fan of the subject, but I'm wondering if taking courses in it would be beneficial enough to warrant taking those classes. I'm not looking to be a "physicist" per se, but I'm approaching my bachelors in physics as a way to learn skills to do...

Hello, I'm currently pursuing a bachelors in physics. My program does not require that I take basic chemistry to earn my degree, but I've recently been questioning how useful a bachelors in physics will be, I'm not planning on going into academia so I've read that I need to acquire marketable...
