    Admissions Can I get away with retaking E&M, even if I got a B?

    Perfect. I didn't consider being able to sit in on the class without retaking it. If allowed, this sounds like the best option to me. In that case, I'll be looking forward to taking E&M II in the future. Thanks. It helps to hear from others who have hit road-bumps and made it to the other...

    Admissions Can I get away with retaking E&M, even if I got a B?

    Nope, there is a second class. This was E&M I (electro and magnetostatics). I still need to take E&M II, which involves charges in motion. From what I hear the material looks pretty different, so I'm not sure if it'll build upon what I already know or will be completely new. Roger. It helps to...

    Admissions Can I get away with retaking E&M, even if I got a B?

    Poor choice of words on my part, but I see your point. Instead of "get away with" I meant "would it be acceptable" to which it seems to not be. That's fair, Thanks. This is nothing I can't recover from. I just wish I had an excuse to study the material more. I am and will be taking those other...

    Admissions Can I get away with retaking E&M, even if I got a B?

    I am in my first semester of physics after transferring from engineering, and I arrogantly took E&M instead of the recommended courses, and I am on track to get a B- or a B in the class. I plan to apply to PhD programs in a few years and even with this grade I don't thing a 3.7 or 3.8 is...

    What inspired me to pursue a career in theoretical physics?

    Hi! I am a new member of this forum and hope to ask many questions over the coming years. I am currently an undergraduate Physics/Mathematics double major at a state university with hopes of continuing onto a PhD in Mathematical or Theoretical Physics. At the time of posting this, I will have...
