Admissions PSA -- Contact PI's before applying to graduate school in the US
I don't see how a prospective applicant could perform a discreet inquiry - I would consider them to be part of the public if I was an admin. I certainly would not be admitting to the above practice if indeed it was taking place in either a phone call to a prospective applicant or an email. The...- Muu9

If that's the case, I doubt they'd admit it publicly to anyone who asks, so I don't see the benefit of asking. It also seems like a pretty unnecessary question (why would they be accepting applicants if they don't intend to admit anyone) and thus might reflect poorly on the applicant asking such...- Muu9

Courses What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?
Another idea is to watch a video of someone doing a past paper in each of them, do get an idea for what you'll actually be learning and what you'll actually be expected to do on the exam.- Muu9

Are you a senior? Do you like proofs in mathematics? UofT has https://artsci.calendar.utoronto.ca/program/asspe0397 You should check out the Euclid, CEMC, CAP high school prize exam. What's your background in math and physics?- Muu9

My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?
At the top schools, maybe, but in general this group is smaller than the group of physics bachelor's students. A PhD in non-theoretical astrophysics/astronomy is not so mathematically intensive that only students who get all As all the time in math can even think about aiming for one. E.g.- Muu9

Courses What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?
I don't think any of them will be particularly helpful other than giving you some basic exposure and thus allowing you to see how much you like or don't like the subject for potential future study, although I would choose DT or geography over economics in particular because economics isn't even...- Muu9
