    Boost Your Physics Grades: Tips from a Columbia University Student

    Do you know what the class average was? I had a similar case where I had consistent grades early on but bombed the second midterm, but apparently so did everyone else.

    Is HonorSociety.org Legitimate?

    I don't know if I trust the validity of this organization. I got an email about it, and the university immediately emailed saying they had no affiliation with it.

    Taking QUALITY Physics/Maths notes in and out of class?

    I started rewriting my notes, first by hand to double-check any errors/make it neater, then in LaTeX so that I always have a copy backed up. In LaTeX, I added my own figures, graphs, and other important notes from other books. Looking back, that was REALLY time consuming, but they are...

    Schools Is it realistic for a white male from a large university to apply to good REU's?

    I don't understand this. Why is it his concern if he's depriving someone else of that opportunity? If he were to get a job over someone else, is he not depriving someone else who needed that money?
