I have been accepted to the undergraduate schools at UW-Madison and Penn State and plan on majoring in - 1.Physics and 2.Mechanical engineering Which school should I go to and why?..I would appreciate any and all suggestions. My plans for the future are to do extensive research into...

From a particle physics point of view is Stanford better because of SLAC, as compared to the other schools?

No..actually I plan to apply to all of those. I have a GPA of 4.0 (MS-Physics). I am only curious..IF i get accepted..I repeat "IF"...which school do you think would be the best?

Oh btw...dont forget the other schools I mentioned also... Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I have found several rankings...I just can't decide which of these..especially Caltech and Stanford are better? They both have very similar programs and very similar research areas..well almost..so I am just curious as to which is better?..(and why)

Well...experimental HEP has its limitations..I'm interested in studying the possiblities of a unified field theory-which i think would be better accomplished by working with theoretical particle physics

Well...I got my MS in Aerospace first..worked as a Propulsion Engr for a bit..about 2 yrs and then went back for my MS in Physics. I turned 29 this year. Why?..is that bad?

BS,MS in Aerospace Engineering MS in Physics-(Exp Particle Physics Research)

If I were to specify quantum gravity ...what school do you suggest?

What I'm looking for essentially is to work on combining QM and GR (Unified Theory)and possibly experiment on theses theories with phenomena such as the formation of black holes (Hawking Radiation..) in accelerators and their study..

Hi Guys Good to hear from y'all. Let me try to explain a li'l bit..When I talk about gravitational physics I mean research related to gravitational waves (as Rach3) mentioned, relativity (exampl:Stanford's Gravity Probe-B), Kip Thorne's theoretical work in wormholes at Caltech and so on. By...

Which is the best Grad School? Hello all...I would appreciate it very much if someone could tell me which school of the following list- Stanford, Caltech, MIT, Princeton, Harvard is the best (please rank the list) for Graduate opportunities (research facilities, faculty...
