thanks for the advice! I actually already accepted the international one though ): but I hope you have an awesome time at cornell! and I think I agree about what you said, that the program matters less than the reu in general, so that makes me feel a little better.

Wow, thanks for all of the responses. All of you have really great points, and this has helped a lot. I feel like I might be leaning towards the Cornell REU now, but I'll try to inquire about my specific projects before I decide anything. Thanks again, and best of luck to those applying to REUs...

Hello, I am a sophomore physics and mathematics double major, and I plan to attend graduate school for physics with a concentration in biophysics, or just biophysics. However, this is subject to change, as I find a lot of areas of physics interesting. I was recently accepted to two REU...

thanks, that's really great advice! I'll be sure to take those no matter which degree I choose in that case

For both physics BA and BS I need the intro physics courses, some other non-physics science courses, quantum physics, oscillatory and wave phenomena, and contemporary physics (all 100-200 level). The differences are... BS Physics: Advanced Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Advanced Physics Lab...

Hello, I'm in my sophomore year of college right now, and I want to double major in Physics and Mathematics. The only thing I'm questioning now is whether I should do BS Physics+BA Math, or BS Math+BA Physics. The second option should be a little easier for me, as I'm ahead in math and...
