Oh I meant a scholarship of some sort from my home institution... I realize asking the hosts for funding when I have nothing to contribute is not a good idea.

No, I would either have to fund it myself somehow or try to get a scholarship of some sort that would fund it.

Thanks for the input. I see, I'll definitely try to see if I could attend one of these things for sure then in the near future!

I'm curious to know if it is generally frowned upon for an undergraduate to attend a very specialized workshop. I'm browsing through a list (http://www.conference-service.com/conferences/gravitation-and-cosmology.html) of workshops and they do seem interesting. For those that have been to such...

I think if you major in physics, you'll do better on the PGRE which will better your odds into getting a better astro or physics graduate program. At least at ASU, the astronomy program leaves you very weak in the mathematics and barely skims the surface of quantum.

Congrats on TAMU! I haven't heard from any that I've applied to yet.

The GGI lectures on fundamental physics might be in order https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDv_88jN-Ka8NY0k9TeSjpw/playlists

Hi my name is Dustin and I'm currently a third year undergraduate studying physics and astronomy in the US. I'm excited to discuss physics topics and learn new things.

I may have applied to an excessive amount of programs. [program] (expressed interest in) Applied to: -Nevis Labs (Part. Phys) -GA Tech (Part. Phys) -UIUC (Part. Phys) -UC Davis (Part. Phys) -SAO (Astro) -Cornell (Astro) -U Chicago (Astro) -TUNL/DUKE (Part. Phys) -Northwestern (Part. Phys) -U...
