You should either send an email to professors or visit their office during office hours, asking every professor individually until one accepts you. Let them know that you don't have much lab experience and they could give you project that is ok for you to handle. Some professors may be in...

Thanks for reply twofish-quant, I will probably then try to apply to some grad schools I would be interested for Phd and then if I don't get accepted will just stay and volunteer for about a year and research. The funding was my bigest worry, since I know that a lot of students in Ms program...

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to figure out something hopefully soon since application time is about to run out soon. Thanks again

I understand that, and don't mind taking courses since either way I will lose a year regardless of weather I take classes or do research. But, what is the best thing as looked at by admission comitee: taking year off to just do research at my university voluntarily, transfering after being in...

The only reason I wanted to have started graduate school at least and not have taken a year off just doing research with professor at my university voluntarily since that way I will lose a year of classwork as well. I was looking at Ohio State University which is like 25 or 26th ranking and...

Here is the short background. I am a senior graduating May 2010 (BS Physics) and planning to go on to graduate school. I am interested in Condensed Matter Experiment. I have a 3.5 GPA, no research experience (will start in spring semester which will be after grad school applications) and will...

Hi everyone I am not sure if this is the right place for the post, so if it not please feel free to move it to the more adequate location I am a member of my Society of Physics students national and local chapter and we have weekly meetings, where we try to do fun physics stuff/eat/discuss...

Thanks for the advice. I will try to start on everything now since my classes don't start until 24 which will give me some time to get ready. And applying and recomendation letters, I was hoping to get from the profesors that I will be taking now since transfering from community college and...

1. Quantum Mechanics - Griffiths 2. E & M - Wangsness 3. Linear Algebra - Lay 4. Higher math - Chartrand This is my senior year and I will be adding my general and subject GRE's (for which I haven't started studying yet) as well as grad school applications. I was at first worried since...

That is my problem mostly since I am so quiet that I never speak up in class even though I know material and do well in class but I don't think they remember me since I am so quiet. But I'll try more now since I really need it. Also about research I planned to do it earlier because I wanted...

Hi everyone, I will be needing letters of recommendation for grad school towards the end of next semester. I transferred from community college and don't have such close relationship with physics professors at my university. I did good (A's) in all classes but I didn't have any of the...

I thought so. Thats what I was worried about. I may not be able to enjoy or really put my time into it and probably be running to get all the work done, just so that its done without really understanding the significance of the research. And of course I am sure as a result of that my grades...

Ok, so I am in kind of a dilema. This next semester I am planning to take Thermodynamics, Intro to Computational Physics, Intro to Mathematical Physics and Atomic/Nuclear Lab. I am a junior doing my BS in Physics. Besides this two of my previous professors have asked me to work with them on...

Did you try to talk to other groups and see if they have the same problem, just ask if they meet more often or just the day before the presentation. It may be that your group members are not interested in material, but other groups are more cohesive and are interested in work. Or it may be that...

Hi everyone, I just wandered if you know of any materials or internet links that would help me with circuit connections in the lab. I seem to always mess up when I try to connect the circuit based on the drawn scheme. I took Into to Electromagnetism last semester and would always mess up...
