    High School Grades & College Expectations: Can I Become a Particle Physicist?

    My comment is based off an interview of Isaacson talking about his book, and telling how Einstein was slow at learning when he was young and was very rebellious. Plus, I was just joking around, no need to get so serious. I don't particularly like reading biography's though.

    Being ready for Classical Physics

I did not take high school physics which I regret but now I must catch up and take this class at my community college that is supposed to get me caught up. I am more than happy to take it because physics...

    Is it possible for me to get into a good school in Iowa

    I have a pretty bad High school gpa because I mostly screwed around during high school and it clearly is costing me some time. It was around 2.0. My act score suffered because of my lack of trying during high school and only received a composite score of 23. With math being my highest 26 and...
