How do brokerages work here? If I have, e.g., $50k available margin, and am using $50k, does this count as "credit"? Is it reported to the bureaus?

Background: BS physics, double minors in chem and math, c/o 2008. Started with chem major, but switched to physics for interest/challange. No absolute career goals, but always considered bigpharma as a good place to go. Considered physics grad school, but never that interested in teaching...

Same here. No regrets at all.

I prefer MathType for typing up papers and what have you. There's a free 'MT Lite' version, and the original program runs about the same as MatLab and Mathmatica, ~ $100.

test \int_{0}^{1} x dx = \left[ \frac{1}{2}x^2 \right]_{0}^{1} = \frac{1}{2} Let \theta be a (p+1)-form defined on the ranges of all the cubes of a p-chain, where p>0. Then \int_{C} d \theta = \int_{\partial C} \theta Let\; \theta\; be\; a (p+1)-form\; defined\; on\; the\; ranges\...

College Confidential is a great board; very informative. If you are willing to pay for an overseas phone call, you can call Princeton Review at 800-2Review. Or visit PrincetonReview.com and ask, perhaps? Personally, I would strongly recommend buying the newest version of the prep book if...

A #2 pencil is HB. It refers to the grade -- hardness or softness -- of the lead: #1 = B, #2 = HB, #3 = H, and #4 = 2H, where you can think of H as Hard and B as... umm... not hard... lol, don't know what that one stands for. Many drafting pencils are made for use by drawers/sketchers who need...

I know this isn't of particular interest to most people, but I figured I would help spread the information for those who might find it applicable for friends or loved ones. Alabama http://uanews.ua.edu/anews2005/sep0...elief090105.htm Arkansas http://dailyheadlines.uark.edu/5209.htm...

The Time Cube guy is real? ... wow...

Bad Religion - Entropy :biggrin: Vintersorg - Lots of his work uses themes from astronomy and science, eg. Formulas of an ethereal intellect strayed through black and empty planes, into the auditorium of evolution. In devious ways magic came and created a spectra of fiery celestial...

It's hard to say, especially without defining majors or what constitutes a well known school. If you're talking Princeton versus some state university satellite school, then the answer is obvious. Similarly if you're comparing a chemical engineering major at Cal-Tech versus an english major...

Berkeley is sometimes considered a "public ivy"... it constantly ranks in at the top 5 public universities. It is an excellent school for science in general, as well as engg, and it's prestige is definitely a benefit. In my opinion, the school as a whole, and the environment contained therein...

Most 4-year universities will have a place on the application for you to inform them of any academic discrepancies. Assuming you have a valid reason, and the rest of your record is solid, I do not think they would look too down upon you for that. Remember, the adcomms are human, too. Sometimes...

You'll need a bare minimum 3.0 to transfer. I don't think anyone's chances of transferring to a UC from out of state, especially Berkeley, would be very good without top stats and EC's. Transferring is not an easy process... especially if done during the semester. I would suggest making very...
