AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the timing of the FE Exam results in relation to graduation. A user plans to take the exam in October during their senior year to include the results on their resume. There is uncertainty about whether results are released before graduation, with some recalling that results were available months after taking the exam in the past. Another participant mentions their experience taking the exam in April, noting a four-month wait for results. The conversation seeks confirmation from recent test-takers about the timing of result releases for those who took the FE Exam in October.

I am planning to take FE Exam during my senior year. I was planning to take it during October so I can put it down on my resume, but I have heard they won't release the results to you until you graduate. Is that true?

Anyone knows?
 
It's been ~25 or so years since I took it during an MS program. I seem to remember that the results came a few months later, well before I got the degree. I think if one takes it in October this year, one would get the results before graduation. Maybe a senior who graduates this year and who took the FE last October can confirm.
 
I took the FE exam in April and they told me it would be four months until I would find out my score.
 
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...
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...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
