Hi All,
I just completed a degree in physics and (pure) math and I am planning on applying to grad school in the fall. I'm mostly interested in applying to physics graduate programs, but I was wondering if my background was strong enough to the following applied math programs:
Stony Brook...
Good night to all,
I would really appreciate if everyone could give me their opinions on:
MS in Medical Physics in Duke University
MS in Medical Physics in Columbia University
MS in Medical Physics in Vanderbilt University
MS in Medical Physics in Cleveland State University
Ph.D in Radiological...
Good Afternoon. My name is Nicolas Beltran. I am a high school student who would really like your advice on an issue I have.
It has always been my dream to study physics, however I never saw it as a feasible choice because in my country, Colombia, there are little to few options in which true...
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what are my chances for university of Toronto and university of British Columbia
I am indian student with 12th standard percentage of 94%(maths 95/100 and physics 93/100)

Hello, all. So, I am a prospective medical physics graduate student for the fall of 2015 and I have been accepted into two of my top four choices: The 2 year M.S. program in Medical Physics at Columbia and the four year DMP (Professional Doctorate of Medical Physics) program at Vanderbilt. Both...
My son was accepted at Cornell, the University of Chicago, UC Santa Barbara, and possibly Columbia for the undergraduate program in physics. He is also waiting to hear from the UC Santa Barbara College of Creative Studies program. We feel very honored to be accepted in these programs and are...

i'm currently getting masters in applied mathematics (at top 40 univ) and I'm curious about two things:
1) how hard is it to get into APAM program for PHD?
2) what are some schools with similar program?
I really like...
Help guys ! I've been accepted into Columbia University, University of Arizona and University of Colorado Boulder to study Astrophysics ! But I don't know which one to pick... Which one has the best Physics / Astrophysics program ?
My dream is to work towards a PHD level and find work as an...
Columbia or VCU Medical Physics Program??
I was recently accepted to the Medical Physics Programs at Columbia and Virginia Commonwealth University. I am wondering if anyone has any insight on how the programs are at both of these schools. I know that Columbia obviously has a prestigious...
Hi all,
I'm new to the forums and am hoping for some advice. I'm glad to have found these forums, and am excited to comb through them and get to know people here.
After getting my BFA in Photography (2007), I started a BS in Physics at a good college in Boston (a different institution than...
I am finishing my final year of high school and would like to obtain an undergraduate education in physics or engineering. I was just accepted into Columbia University, the University of Chicago (which does not offer engineering), and Cornell University and plan to attend one of them. If anyone...
I really want to know more about the physics department in Columbia. Does that count as one of the top undergraduate physics program? I heard that they aren't so good. It will be great if somebody shows me a authorized ranking. thanks soooooooo much.
Deciding between U British Columbia and UC San Diego for graduate studies in physics
I've been accepted to the University of British Columbia and UC San Diego for graduate studies in physics, and I'm having trouble deciding between the two.
I don't know how UBC compares to UCSD...

Are there any Columbia grads out there willing to comment on what they liked (or didn't like) about Columbia (aside from cost and the difficulty of getting admitted)? My daughter will be a HS senior in the fall and considers Columbia her first choice (we visited a couple of weeks ago and she...
Hello!
I'm applying to different universities in the US. Can you please give your opinion about the University of Missouri - Columbia? (http://www.math.missouri.edu)
They have several professors with PhDs from prestigious universities so I think it's a good option, isn't it? what do you think?
This is my question. I am going for a major in Physics. I am still in High school. Can someone tell me what were you grades when you got into either of those Universities? I mean your overall grades. List them out for me.
Also, Is it more difficult to transfer from an university to another...
I have applied to Columbia PhD program in EE. They have a computational neuroscience group called Bionet (only one professor) which is based in the Electrical Engineering Department which I am very interested in. If I get accepted I will be able to start school in January.
When I look at US...
Civil Engineering -- University of Waterloo Vs. University of British Columbia
Im currently a high school senior in Panama. I will graduate in one month with an IB Diploma. I am considering two universities right now, Waterloo and UBC both for civil engineering. In Waterloo I got into the...
So, I've got 5ish days to decide which of these institutions (UChicago, Columbia) to attend next year. At UChicago, I'd like to double major in Physics and Economics. At Columbia, I am accepted at the engineering school and I would major in Applied Physics and minor in Economics.
The main...
Anybody know much about admission statistics for graduate studies at the Institute for Strings, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics at Columbia University?
Curious to know what admission rate is and what are the stats of students typically admitted.
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
For the past year, I spent my freshman year in college at UC Berkeley studying math and physics. Since tuition was expensive for out-of-state and because I wanted to go to the East, I applied for transfer. I'm now debating whether to stay at Berkeley or whether to go to Columbia...
How's physics at Columbia? It seems that Cornell has a more well known physics program, and there's not much said about Columbia. And what about physics at Brandeis and at Brown?
Also, what are my chances for an awesome grad school going to a school like Brandeis that isn't ivy? I'm not sure...
I went to an education fair recently, trying to find a good university to go to, and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver seemed very appealing to me. They seem to have a nice-looking campus, as well as a mountain lodge, and Vancouver seems like a really pleasant place. I'm in the...
A Ride On The Rainbow Warrior (The “Missing” Columbia BLACK BOX)

The following article is taken from “SC Infosecurity News (The...
I saw a video of Columbia’s re-entry I think on FOX news. It showed the shuttle going from the right side of the image to the left, the camera’s POV was looking at the rear engines. It seemed as if the shuttle was turned 90 degrees clock-wise from what a normal entry is suppose to be (nose...
i just visited princeton, yale, and columbia (college undergrad searching)
princeton was the coolest of the three, i thought (and best suited my interest in science/physics)
both princeton and yale had amazing gothic architecture
columbia was cool too, but too compact and too little...
