I really like mathematics, physics, and programming/simulation/computer modeling. I want to try my hand at physics research. However, I don't want to build sensors or spend most of my time building experiments. I really like coding and data analysis. I am thinking that astrophysics research...

Bowdoin is *very* laid back, which may or may not be your cup of tea. Especially compared to BU, I feel that students at Bowdoin would be much more willing to collaborate and, obviously, the professors will be much more available for help. In fact, I feel that if you express interest in grad...

I'm interested too

I go to a liberal arts school, so unfortunately that isn't an option...

So I'm really interested in climate science and I would possibly like to advise the government/world on climate policy as well as maybe go into environmental engineering. I'm also contemplating doing research in computational modeling since I enjoy CS. I was thinking of majoring in Physics and...

Has anyone heard from AMNH, UChicago, or Columbia NEVIS?

Anyone heard from anywhere yet?

When do physics REU programs typically reply back to applicants?

So I guess that college is that different from high school, huh? I get giddy when I think that for once in my life I can just study for the things I love and not worry whether that warrants me an A or a B.

I have always been interested in majoring in a STEM field. I never saw myself as a scientist, per say, (I abhor labs) but I always thought I would major in physics, math, or computer science. However, recently I have been very offset by the relatively low grades given out in my STEM classes than...

Would taking a programming course next semester help my application? I'm deciding whether to take intro to programming in python or chemistry... or take a really heavy workload and take both... or just take astronomy since I'm applying for astrophysics REUs

At my school, astrophysics is an interdisciplinary major...

I'm considering getting a major in astrophysics and a minor in computer science. First of all, would an astrophysics major preclude me from studying, say, particle particle physics, in graduate school? I want to take a couple astro classes and my parents think astrophysics sounds "smarter" than...

Hi all. I'm a prospective physics major, hoping to either go into particle physics or condensed matter research or enter tech if research doesn't turn out to be for me. I was wondering which elective I should choose for next semester--astro 101 or Chemistry 1 or CS 1? Will chemistry help me with...
