Kay, that's what I thought. Thanks for the reply! :D

"Are you currently serving (or have previously served) as PI, PD, Co-PI, or Co-PD on any federally funded project?" Hey, y'all! I'm applying for a grad school fellowship, and I'm not sure how to answer this question. Would this include being an NSF REU fellow, or not? I believe not, but I want...

Thanks, everyone, all of the responses are greatly appreciated. StatGuy 2000 and clope023, I chose to follow my fiance to where he is going to graduate school. He applied to both of the schools that I was accepted to, but was not accepted by either, and he was more excited about the prospect...

To bring you up to speed: I am bright enough to go to graduate school, and was previously accepted with full tuition and stipend to two Masters/Ph.D. programs. I had a 3.8 undergrad GPA, did well in an REU program, did other personal undergraduate research projects. At this time, I am...

If anyone has anything to say at all about acoustics, I'd love to hear it. I'm finishing up a B.A. in physics this year, and I would like to pursue a Ph.D. in acoustics, architectural acoustics, acoustic engineering, something like that. I've also seen degrees in mechanical engineering with a...

Okay, that's something to think about. I'll definitely be talking about this with my academic adviser in the next couple of weeks. Thanks so much for your help! :D

Thanks for giving such a detailed and thoughtful response! I have another question that was brought up to me by a friend: Given the current research into using nanotechnology to deliver a more focused and controlled dose of treatment, will radiation oncology and nuclear medicine remain a viable...

I have just changed my major to physics (and math minor). I'm still not sure what field I will want to study in grad school, but I am most interested in: medical physics and radiology, astrophysics, particle physics, and nuclear physics. Currently, medicine and radiology holds the most interest...

Thanks for the advice bluechic92, it's quite helpful!

I'm still hoping for a response, so a quick clarification: When I write my cover letter for the REU application, should I mention that, as an education major, I was expected to do my research in the education field, and did not have room in my schedule for programming classes? Or will this be...

Haha, thanks!

Hello, all! I am a junior at a small-ish school, and I have just decided to change my major from a B.S. in physics education to a B.A. in physics. I have a strong physics background (All A's and one B+ in my physics classes, all A's in math), and I've taken all of the lower-level physics...

Hi! I have just decided to change my major, and am now pursuing a bachelor's degree in Physics. I am also working on a math minor. I'm interested in many fields in physics, and I am starting to develop ideas for my senior research paper and for my honors thesis. I am also working on applying for...
