Yes I am. I will be living at chestnut residence for first year, and hopefully be able to move to a cheaper residence second year. It's nice to have someone like you who is clearly at the top of their class answer your questions, so thanks again. Also were you stressed when it came to...

Thanks for replying, your post really is really reassuring. Indeed the engineering physics option sounds really robust. Cant wait till school Starts! By the way, what was your overall feeling on the first two years of engsci? I did not do AP or IB in high school, and was wondering how big of a...

It's been a long time since I posted in this thread and I just wanted to tell you about my decision and thank you for all of your help. I accepted my offer to Engineering Science and will be heading there in a matter of weeks. After reading your responses, I tried calling the University of...

I want to have at least some security. How does a person with a PhD in physics compare to one with a degree in engineering, in terms of job opportunity and average salaries. *I don't expect to make tons of money. I know they are less marketable than engineers on average, but could a average...

Wow, I am actually in the same position as you. Coming from a lower income family wanting to do physics, and I know I have already made a similar thread but would like to hear more responses. Also people have recommended me engineering physics programs. See if McGill offer it, I know u of t...

I have another question. I have decided upon engineering physics form engsci at u of t due to recommendations from family members, and forum users. I was wondering if I could go on to do theoretical physics research from engineering physics. And what are the math courses like, do I still get my...

Thnx for the responses again. I still have about 2 months to decide, I am not sure if that is a good thing, but I am thinking about this all. After my posts I was able to talk to a professor, who said that physics has a lot of opportunities as well, such as become a medical physicist working...

In high school, electricity and magnetism was my favorite topic in physics. I do like computer science as well. Engineering Science offers Electrical Computer Engineering, but I have heard form this forum or other forum that the ece option is not particularly advantageous, having to go through 2...

U are right, you do. Double major, is somewhat unrealistic, as Engineering Science is like an Honors Engineering program, due to amount of coursework already provided.

Thanks for the replies. I am sorry, I did not mean to bad mouth engineers. I am now seriously considering Engineering Science. It is true I have never really been exposed to engineering that much, aside form talking to certain family members. MECHster was right in saying that it is much easier...

I like physics a lot more, the only reason I am even considering Engineering Science, is because I don't know if I am smart enough. I known I am hardworking, and secondly because they offer an engineering physics degree. I don't know if engineering physics will get me into what I wish to study...

I am a High school student in Ontario Canada, and I am currently completing my final year in High school. Recently I received acceptance to University of Toronto Mathematical and Physical sciences along with their prestigious engineering science program. My parents, though not forcing me to go...

Thanks, now that I think about its pretty obvious that there is finite nodal lines.

Homework Statement Studying physics in High school, and for two years now we have covered two point source interference patterns with light, sound, and water wave in a ripple tank per say. The type of wave nor medium is necessary significant for me at the moment, but I am having trouble...

I believe so, I have viewed some video after Ur suggestion and it seems like a reasonable experiment, more suggestions would help.
