AI Thread Summary
Transferring from Georgetown College to Washington University in St. Louis is being considered by a junior who is pursuing a triple major. The individual is exploring the possibility of completing a degree at Georgetown with a focus on Philosophy and Math before transferring to WashU to pursue a Physics major. They are interested in whether this approach could facilitate admission to a reputable institution and if it would impact scholarship opportunities, noting that WashU offers scholarships for four years regardless of when a student enrolls. Responses suggest completing the degree at Georgetown, as attending a smaller school does not hinder graduate school applications. Additionally, it's advised to verify the validity of WashU's scholarship and financial aid after obtaining the first bachelor's degree.

So, I am thinking about transferring from Georgetown College (KY), where I currently attend, to Washington University in St. Louis. I am actually a junior, but because of my triple major I will have to stay longer than four years wherever I attend. What I am wondering is if there is anyway I could finish my degree at Georgetown for only Philosophy and Math (two of my current majors, those of which I have taken the most classes), and then transfer to WashU, or wherever, and do a physics major (like a year and a half kind of thing or something). Is this something that can be done? Would it be easier to get into somewhere good this way? I know that at WashU you get whatever scholarship that you receive for four years no matter when you get in...this just seems like an interesting to me because I could finish my two foundational majors first, then hit into physics hard, which is kind of what I am doing now since I only have about 12 hours of physics. Any answers would be much appreciated!

I'd stick with the school you are in and finish everything there. Being from a small school will not make any difference on getting into grad school.
 
Check to see if your WashU scholarship and/or financial aid is still valid once you have your first bachelor's degree.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
