Was wondering if anyone could give me some stats about the University of Hawaii. I'm tentatively looking at them for particle astrophysics or neutrino physics. Anyone know what the acceptance rate is/how hard it is to get in? Any reviews of the school? Should ranking concern me? They seem to do interesting work there.

They do have a good neutrino program there. Grad or undergrad?
 
Grad. They're definitely involved in a lot of experiments I'm interested in.

Grad school - as I suspected. I know a little bit about John Learned and have heard only good things about their programs http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~jgl/nuastron.html

Isn't grad school all about applying to programs that mesh with your research interests?
 

Thread 'How do physicists practically switch fields to non-adjacent subfields?'

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a current grad student in applied geophysics and will finish my PhD in about 2 years (previously did a HBSc in Physics, did research in exp. quantum optics). I chose my current field because of its practicality and its clear connection to industry, not out of passion (a clear mistake). I notice that a lot of people (colleagues) switch to different subfields of physics once they graduate and enter post docs. But 95% of these cases fall into either of...
