    Testing Anyone else called to find out your November Physics GRE score?

    Anyone else called to find out your November Physics GRE score? So in case you didn't know, today is the day you can start calling and give 12 dollars to ETS(...) to find out your GRE score before the 23rd when you can see it online. I still haven't finalized my list of schools so I called...

    Schools Should I apply to more reach schools for graduate studies?

    I'm looking into applying to about 10 schools? I am doing research on biophysics, been on it for two semesters now. I want to be doing condensed matter or quantum information science though

    How Can I Best Prepare for My Second Semester in Electromagnetism?

    Learn PDE. Wasn't required at my school, but you sure use a garbageton of it. Other than that, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Schools Should I apply to more reach schools for graduate studies?

    I have a question pretty specific towards my situation but I think its an interesting thing to think about anyways. I am in the process of applying for graduate programs for the fall, and from two professors I got slightly different advice. One said that I should apply to few top schools, few...

    Schools Should I know what field I want to go in for grad school?

    Well, I know what I don't want to do at least. I want to work outside of academia when I'm done, so stuff like particle/high energy physics or pretty much anything theoretical isn't what I want to do. Other than that, no clue lol

    Schools Should I know what field I want to go in for grad school?

    Hi, I'm a senior undergrad preparing for graduate studies. But I have this problem where I don't really know what field of physics I want to go in. I really have no clue. And I feel like that is a big part in deciding what schools to apply/attend. Then again, I feel like no one really...

    How do we define and calculate divergence in vector fields?

    My understanding for gradient is that basically a vector that points in the direction of greatest change. Curl on the the other hand being the uniformity(or lack there of) in the vector field. I have a hard time getting an intuitive understanding of divergence though.

    What to do in the summer between soph/junior

    Well, last summer I ended up doing absolutely nothing so I'm trying to make sure that I do something productive and have something to put on my resume when it comes time to apply for grad schools. As for "life plans", at the moment, its just getting through school, I plan to go for my phd...

    What to do in the summer between soph/junior

    I'm a sophomore who recently switched from EE to physics, and now I am kind of lost as to what to do with my summer. Seems that industry internships all wants engineers, and research opportunities are all targeted towards people who finished their Junior/Senior year. I understand that a lot of...

    Physics EE vs. Physics: Is a Double Major Worth It?

    I'm a sophomore EE student in US. When I was little, I imagined myself creating robots and other cool stuff, and that stuck through high school and into college. And now, I have been thinking about dropping EE and going with physics, which is what really interests me. I guess I've been a bit...
