I'm an undergrad aspiring to be a candidate for a MS in Medical Physics. I came into freshman year as a physics major, did poor in my first physics class, and changed my major to business. After realizing that was a mistake after a year, I switched back to physics. My Major GPA is a 2.0 after 10 credit hours (a D freshman year and B in the repeat junior year). Cumulative is a 2.68. I didn't know how to study because I never had to in high school. I got a 780 SAT and 35 ACT in math, so I know I'm capable.
I still have to take Calculus 2, 3, and Differential Equations, Modern Physics (relativity, particle physics, photoelectric effect, blackbody radiation), Theoretical Techniques, E&M, Analytical Mechanics, Optics, 2 physics labs, and a programming class. Is it realistic to raise my GPA high enough to be a competitive candidate for Medical Physics with the undergrad coursework I have remaining? I go to IU-Bloomington, and have the option to take grad credit Medical Physics classes as an undergrad too, and I very well may since I already have my general degree requirements out of the way.
If not, is it a possibility to take more classes after graduation to raise my GPA in order to find a program? I put myself in a hole, but I would stay in college as long as it takes to get accepted into a program.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have!
