Hi all. Is it correct that an undergraduate program corresponds to a European B.Sc., and an graduate program corresponds to a European M.Sc. program? Or am I completely wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Niles.

I was wondering if deleting a few video games which I have mastered and do not play anymore which in all amounts to, and frees about 22 GB of space on my 700 GB hard drive, will make my computer boot and run slightly faster?

I have 1 more year as an undergraduate physics major. I've been looking for programs that are really a mixture of physics and something else (say engineering of medicine, but mostly physics). I've found some really good programs. These programs are titled Applied Science and Medical Engineering...

Diversity of "emergent gravity" programs? Does any of you knowledgeable people know of any an reviews of various "emergent gravity" programs? Ie. something that focuses on the different ways to do it. It appears that many emergent gravity programs, inspired by condensed matter physics...

I am having a problem deleting programs from my TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. This is the first time that I am trying to uninstall a program. I am trying to uninstall "Inequalities" and "Transform", so that I can install "Graph 3". "Graph 3" does not install if "Inequalities" or "Transform" is...

So, I just took the GRE and I got a 390 on verbal and a 600 on quantitative. I feel that this is a little low, but is this acceptable for a math grad program? Do they really put that much weight on the GRE scores? I mean, I've seen some schools that don't even require them.

Hey guys! I live in Doha, Qatar. I'm from India, my dad and mom work here. I go to an Indian school here, following the CBSE board. I'm in 11th class (or grade, or whatever you want to call it) now. I generally get good grades in school, and my teachers are happy with that. In my free time, I...

Hi, I'm applying undergraduate physics programs, and I want to ask your opinion on where you would go among the schools I'm considering to apply. The program (physics) is obviously my priority concern. Other than that, maybe the area; beautiful town, campus, and so on (I really wanted to apply...

Hello, I would like to ask you some questions relating summer programs in physics. I have applied for several programs this year and one by one, I am being rejected in all of them. I don't know why this happens, my marks are really good, and I have studied four courses of the physical sciences...

Hi all. I am trying to get a sense for applications to graduate programs in applied math. What are the general GPA requirements for top-25 programs? I am currently doubling majoring in Physics and Economics looking to do applied mathematical modeling of social science problems (game theory...

Well, as the rejection letters start coming in, I can't help but wonder what it takes to reapply to graduate programs. I believe my application this time around was strong in all aspects except GRE scores (which were quite miserable). So my question is, if I improve my GRE scores significantly...

hi guys i'm a know it not all in programming and am really desperate to learn a language. can someone please give me some advice on what program will be suitable for me learn. I'm still in school, so please take that into your considerations. help will be appreciated a lot

I'm currently wrapping up my two year degree at community college and am looking to transfer to a 4 year university in a year. I'm looking to major in astronomy/astrophysics, but I'm not sure what the difference is between those two terms. To me, they almost seem interchangeable. Some...

Does University of Waterloo have one of the best programs in Canada? How hard is it to get accepted into it? (just recently applied) *got roughly a 96/97% avg through hich school Plus, how much do schools rely on extracurricular activites? Any tips for someone looking to pursue...

Well first off I should say that my CAD college classes were done on AutoCAD 2005. I did not own a computer of my own at that time and thus I did not purchase the student version of the software but just used the system installed on the campus computer system. Now that I'm no longer in school...

I'm an UG right now, but I plan on doing research in theoretical physics (probably particle physics. I want to work on finding a TOE. Possibly QM or QED instead). Which schools are best for these pursuits? Thank you.

I'm currently an MET student at UMaine. I like what I'm doing a lot, I just feel like it is very technical and won't allow me to be accredited to do anything else but 'execute someone elses plans' instead of designing something of my own. Does anyone know of any graduate programs for MET? Or...

Just a wondering, can a the programs for ti83+ run on a ti89 titanium? Thanks!
