AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a high school senior planning to attend Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to major in physics, with a potential minor in mathematics, contingent on acceptance to MIT. The individual seeks insights from current or former students in the physics program at RIT or general feedback about the school, as it is their second choice. They mention applying without a midyear report and express curiosity about the impact of this on their application, noting that RIT and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) were their top choices due to their strong technical programs. The participant also highlights an interest in RIT's biology research but seeks more information specifically about the physics department.

I'm currently a senior in high school and am planning on going to RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) granted that I do not get accepted to MIT. At the moment, I plan to major in physics and probably minor in mathematics.

Basically, I'm just curious if there is anyone here that is or has been part of the physics program at RIT. Or if you attended RIT, but not for physics, I'm still grateful to hear your input about the school, as it's currently my #2 choice.

Thanks

I apped there, and received no scholarship money, however I didn't send a midyear report. I think they really like those things. That and RPI were my 'tech' school choices. I liked the research their Biology dept was doing, but I don't know much about Physics.
 
Anyone else?
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
