AI Thread Summary

Studying Physics or Astronomy in India is generally more cost-effective than pursuing a degree abroad. The discussion highlights that while the initial expenses for a Bachelor's degree in India are lower, studying abroad incurs higher tuition and living costs. However, obtaining a degree from an international institution may provide better opportunities for advanced studies and research. The choice between studying in India and going abroad for a Bachelor's degree ultimately depends on individual financial situations and career aspirations.

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 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
