Hi all!
I have been following this forum for a few months and this is my first post.
I am a junior UG majoring in Math. And I heard about the medical physicists in a few months(a group cool guys).
Currently, I am shadowing a medical physicist in the radiotherapy.
Also working on some research projects with another medical physicist, and we focus on simulations on the Geant 4.
I discussed this with my academic advisor, who suggested that I could switch my major to Physics.
However, if I want to graduate in Spring 2026, I can only enroll in the BA Physics, not the BS Physics.
I am a non-traditional student, and I worked for three years before college. So, trying to finish the degree in two years (because my university charges by the semester, and I don't want to have too much debt).
My solution was to take classes at a community college at the same time, and my overall GPA was 3.8, but my Science GPA was 3.95.
I would like to know if there are any suggestions to improve my chances of being admitted?
I know that the average acceptance rate of a PhD in Medical Physics is 10-15%, so I plan to use BME as a backup plan.
And I want to know if a BA in Physics can give me a better chance?
