That makes sense. I'll just have to absorb the things I learn and find my desired path along the way

I plan to aim high. That will mean bettering myself and that's a win win situation

I am still unsure of what field I want to study. I was thinking I could just figure it out over the next 2 years. I'll be applying to grad schools in about 2.5 years

ThanK you for the reply. I think asking my advisor about the history of admittance of graduates to top grad schools is an incredible idea. I will definitely keep that in mind!

Thank you for pointing out my mistake about MIT! You're right, I do mean that I want to get into a very good graduate school with a great physics program. Thank you for your response! I still have years before I apply to any graduate program but I will keep the top 3 Ivy's in mind as well.

I understand that MIT is insanely difficult to get into! I like to think that I am not naive...I hope I'm right. When I transfer to the University in the fall I will likely transfer into the sophomore level. I will still have another three years of undergrad. I just want to start planning early...

My main concern isn't so much that I am looking for an upper hand by doing a dual degree, rather would it hurt my competitiveness for grad school compared to someone that majored solely in physics. Sorry if there was any confusion in my wording. I just don't want to be too far behind when I...

I have heard great things about Ivy League grad schools. I guess it's somewhat of a goal of mine. Keep in mind these are my top goals and my bare minimum goal is to get into a decent grad school. Thank you for your feedback. I think I will do a dual degree
