Advice for Studying Physics Abroad: How Can I Overcome My Challenges?

[Rajatmo]

hey guys out there! help me! I'm in a crucial juncture.

my problems are:
1) i want to be a theoretical physicist and i like cosmology.
2) i am an Indian and in india, you need to memorize EVERYTHING to get a good academic career. I'm lousy at this business and i haven't got a "good academic record"(my average score in twelfth grade final exams is about 83%). so i can't get admitted to really good physics universities. the rest of colleges are just junks - they never have a good faculty.
3) nobody ever gave me information about the scholarships and how to prepare for national level entrance exams.
4) i want to study abroad where i can get some better choices.

now, my advantages (which probably won't count) are:
1) i do know a lot of maths (like, linear algebra, complex analysis, vector analysis, Fourier series, some special functions and ultimately- how to solve partial differential equations) that'll help me studying physics.
2) and as for physics, I'm used to solving real problems, not only the ones assigned in my texts.


ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME?

Yes, there are some suggestions that you can consider: 1) Look into scholarship opportunities for international students. Many universities and organizations offer full or partial scholarships to help international students finance their studies abroad. You should also consider applying for grants or fellowships that may cover part of your tuition and living expenses. 2) Research the admissions process for universities abroad. Many of them have different requirements and criteria for international applicants compared to domestic ones. Make sure you understand the process and what you need to do to be accepted. 3) Take advantage of online resources and courses. Many universities have online courses that you can take to supplement your current studies. These can give you a better understanding of physics and also help you prepare for the entrance exams. 4) Network with other physicists and professionals in your field. Building relationships with experts in the field can provide you with valuable advice and information about the field. It can also help you make connections that can lead to future opportunities. 5) Develop a plan for success. Make sure you have a clear plan for how you will work towards your goal of becoming a theoretical physicist. This plan should include your academic studies, research projects, and any other activities that will help you achieve your goals. Good luck and we wish you all the best!
