AI Thread Summary
Returning to community college to complete prerequisites is a common step for many students aiming to transfer to a university. The timeline for applying to a university after two semesters typically depends on the specific program and university requirements. Students often share experiences that highlight the importance of planning ahead, including understanding application deadlines and ensuring all necessary coursework is completed. Engineering transfer programs are generally viewed positively, as they allow students to establish a strong foundation before moving to a university setting. However, it's crucial to check with the university's admissions office for specific application deadlines and requirements, as these can vary significantly between institutions. Engaging with advisors and utilizing resources at both the community college and prospective universities can enhance the transfer experience and improve the chances of a successful application.

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 '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...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

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?
