I am a Math and Physics major. I eventually hope to go to graduate school for one or the other. The areas of Physics I am more interested in are a bit more towards academic research, not really applied physics or engineering. I have a friend who has a farther that works for an applied physics lab that does summer interns. So I can easily get a good recommendation. In the information about what they want they say "Engineering and sciences majors (predominantly EE and CS)." I actually enjoy don't mind Engineering type physics, I just wouldn't want to do it for my entire future. I am much more interested in advancing the subject of Physics itself. I will be talking to that friends farther sometime this week via skype and I am not going to lie to the guy and tell him engineering is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I was thinking about saying something similar to what I have said, I find it interesting but I have other goals I want to pursue. Also for submiting the resume I don't want to lie to the them either. Somewhere deep down I have some shreads of morality and a soul left. So basically the questions I have are, what should I tell them exactly, and do I really have a shot at getting this despite my interests being away from that field?
