I am a third year graduate student in physics. I came here wanting to do Theoretical studies of dark matter. But there really isn't much money in that. Plus the fact that only first year TA's get jobs in the summer hurts alot. I heard the job outlook for Theoretical Physicist isn't that great...

Arunma getting into gradschool is all that matters I take that back also money matters ;)

Physics 580 30th Percentile. Ohhh you know your jealous that or I am an idiot. I think its a bit of both. Sad part is I just won the award for the being the best senior physics major. Its just hard to have time to study when you go to school and work a full time job. Well itll get me in where...

This is something that it took me till my third year of college to realize. I had like a 4.0 for the first two years however I was killing myself and not enjoying things. I was miserable. I do attend college 5 hours from my home but lately I've been trying to get home every 2 or 3 weeks for...

Another idea is maybe that your overachieving. I currently have like a 3.86, which is fine for me. Relax some, take a break. Dont overdo it.

Well, I am a math and physics major. I don't usually study around 8 hours a day for a single class. I usually study 3 to 4 hours everyday and about 5 to 6 on the weekends for all my classes. I try to spread it out instead of doing it all in advance. Like when I know a test is coming up Ill...

Hey arunma where are you going to gradschool at if your don't mind me asking.

Thanks aruma. Its just a hard process. The research, gpa, and letters of recommendation are what I have going for me. However, its my physics gre score I worry about. I only got a 16. My general gre was pretty decent. Not great but above average. I had a professor once in my linear algebra...

Thanks guys. Well Norman University of Winsconsin Milwakuee is my number one choice. It has one of the best gravatational research programs in the country plus from their past acceptace statistics it looks like I might be able to get in if I can raise my gre scores. Theres politics everywhere...

I am currently entering my senior year at Western Kentucky Univeristy. I am a physics and math major and astronomy minor. My current GPA is a 3.86. One the general GRE my analytical score was a 740 , Verbal only a 410, and my Analytical Writing was a 4.5. On the Physics GRE I only scored a...

Holy crap. I only got a 590 cries. I was actually happy as hell about my score. Then again I don't claim to be a genious only work hard. Sort of got screwed by not having quantum, classical 2, and E and M too till this coming semester. That and I didn't study this time around. I work a full...

Jesus, you make me feel like an idiot. I took the physics gre yesterday and I was only able to answer 40. If I get 30 right Ill freaking cry. Then again I am a first generation college student and from kentucky enough said.

Well this spring I applied to 6 REU's and last spring I applied to 5. This time around I got accepted to 2 and it looks like I am going to be working at Eastern Tennesse State University but its rather close to home in their astronomy reu. Last Summer I worked in Clemson's physics reu also in...

Sorry about the poor grammar quality. I should have proofread it before posting it.

Currently I am in my junior year at Western Kentucky University. I am a math and physics double major with a minor in astronomy. While here I have worked with a professor on extrasolar planet transit detection alogrithms and did reasearch this summer in nuclear astrophysics at clemson...
