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.- mhockey14221

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.

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.- mhockey14221

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...- mhockey14221
