AI Thread Summary
Colleges typically require applicants to submit their senior year courses and grades through transcripts, which are updated after graduation. Students report their AP exam scores, which are released after college applications are submitted. Many colleges consider the courses taken during the senior year, even if final grades are not yet available at the time of application. Institutions may request an updated transcript to verify final grades once the school year concludes. This process ensures that colleges have a complete view of a student's academic performance.

I see people say they get 5's on their AP classes their senior year. The exam for the class is at the end of the year and you apply for college in the fall. How do colleges know what you take your senior year and what you got, if the school year isn't over. Do they just ignore the last semester?

I accidently posted this in the wrong section, meant to put it in Academic and Career Guidance. Sorry.

you report your scores to the school you have chosen to attend.

i also believe that the school will ask to see an updated transcript after you have graduated.
 

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 '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?
