AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) followed by a Bachelor of Science (BSc) with the intent to apply to medical school raises questions about the practicality and benefits of such a path. The discussion emphasizes that a strong foundation in Biology and Biochemistry is crucial for medical school preparation, suggesting that a double major in these fields may be more beneficial than obtaining a business degree. The consensus leans towards prioritizing medical training and patient care over business knowledge, indicating that the focus should be on medical expertise rather than financial management in the healthcare sector.

For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
