AI Thread Summary
A senior Electrical Engineering student from Wright State University is seeking advice on pursuing a master's degree in power systems and power generation, as this specialization is not offered at their current institution. The student has a cumulative GPA of 3.01 overall, with a 3.43 at Wright State and a 3.57 in Electrical Engineering. They are considering the University of Kentucky for its strong power program, believing they have a better chance of acceptance there compared to Ohio State. The student plans to take the GRE soon, aiming to exceed the required score of 1100 to improve their application prospects. They are looking for feedback on whether their academic performance is sufficient for admission to UK.

Hello all,

I'm a senior Electrical Engineering student at Wright State University in OH and I'll be graduating in March 2011 with my BSEE degree.

I've come to the conclusion that my main area of passion and interest is in power systems and power generation so I'd like to do a masters degree focusing on that, which they don't really have at Wright State - so I'll need to go elsewhere.

My stats:

3.01 for all undergrad (I had some poor study habits at a prior Univ.)
3.43 Wright State
3.57 Electrical Engineering

I've been doing some research on grad schools an the school I think might be my best fit is the University of Kentucky. They have a wonderful power program and I think I might have a more realistic shot of getting into UK than Ohio State, which I was originally thinking of pursuing.

My main question is: Are my stats good enough to get into a school like UK? I plan to take the GRE soon and I'm hoping that doing well on that will boost my chances as well. UK only requires an 1100 GRE so I'm hoping to surpass that by quite a bit. Not a guarantee of course, but I certainly hope I can.

Do I have a chance?

Thanks in advance!

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. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. 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...
