    Testing How long did you study for both the General and Physics GREs?

    And is it too late to consider starting grad school in Fall 2010, even if I start applications today?

    Schools Navigating Grad School After Non-Ivy Undergrad Experience

    Yeah, I keep on saying what the heck, I'll apply, doesn't hurt. But I just wonder how the MITs and Stanfords view a school like mine. I applied to medical school last year (to little avail, probably due to weak effort) and there's certainly a dispairity, just check out the sdn forums.

    What Are the Job Prospects for a Physics Student with No Experience?

    Hey, I'm in the same boat as you. I just spent the last 2 hours applying to anything and everything physics related I could find on Monster.com. I cannot tell you how many leads and connections I've tried to take advantage of. I guess I have had some relevant work experience in the form of...

    Surviving Electrodynamics: Tips for Studying and Overcoming Difficult Tests

    What programming language(s) should an aspiring physicist learn?

    I think Fortran is very easy to learn, it seemed the most "naturally English" to me. I also think Mathematica is a good program, it -really- helped me study for my math methods in physics courses.

    Research After Undergrad Graduation?

    Hey all, I applied to Med School last summer, and I thought I was a much stronger candidate than I really was. Long story short, it appears I may not attend med school and instead have considered applying to a physics grad program, as my grades (and interest) in physics are stronger than my...
