Hello I am an incoming Biology student (college), i really wanted to take applied physics as my course but my parents told me that it is better to be a doctor, anyways, it's summer here and I started taking Calculus 1 in coursera.com (i have NO backgroud in calculus because we don't have calculus here in the philippines because we lack some years, we are only up to 10th grade then college, we only have algera based physics and trigonometry and precal) i want to be an astrophysicist majoring in the field of high energy astrophysics (black holes, radiation etc..) I also want to study QFT, Quantum Mechanics and Particle Physics (I want to do a research about those things, i want to contribute to the science world :) ) my question is can I apply for a Masters degree in Physics/astrophysics in the US without having a bachelors in physics? (My other options are taking extra classes of physics in my school or study bachelors again in physics after I graduate biology while in med school, the age difference won't really matter because I'm only 16 and i will graduate biology by 19 or 20:) ) i will be truly devastated if I would not be a physicist one day, it is my dream and it's sad how easily it can be shattered just because i was born in a country with a lower eduction standard :( anyways thank you and have a nice day :)
