Schools Prepare for University Application in 2 Months

AI Thread Summary
With university applications approaching in two months, the individual is facing the challenge of narrowing down their interests to a single focus. They express a desire to pursue multiple fields, including music, art, film, architecture, engineering, chemistry, physics, law, and the game industry. However, they have come to understand that it may not be feasible to pursue all these interests simultaneously, especially given the constraints of university programs in Canada. The discussion emphasizes the need for prioritization and decision-making in selecting a career path.

I live in Canada so I always thought I'd be able to do them all until someone told me I can't ( and I realized it as well).

Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science.
