Hey all! I'm a little lost as to what I should get done in my last three semesters of college. I do plan on going to grad school and will take the GRE next spring, but I currently have no idea as to what else I should be getting done to prepare. I have passing interest in materials science and condensed matter physics, but I haven't taken any formal courses in the subject area yet so I'm not sure if I would want to pursue that path.
GPA: 3.54
Research Experience: None, any REU recommendations related to materials science would be much appreciated
Relevant Courses lined up so far for next semester:
Thermodynamics & Statistical Mechanics
Intro to Polymer Physics
<Math Elective>
Lab Safety Certification
Experimental Physics II
Science and math courses I will have completed by the end of this semester:
Physics I -> III + Relevant labs
Relativity
Quantum Physics (Griffiths)
Electromagnetism (Griffiths)
Classical Mechanics
Experimental Physics I
Calculus I - III
Ordinary Differential Equations
Linear Algebra
Probability I
Python
Matlab
General Chemistry I & II
Misc: Member of my school's local physics club, joined APS
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks in advance!
