I would really discourage you from thinking that you may have reached your "academic limit." Sometimes it feels like that, sure. Especially when you don't get the results you're seeking. I'm sure we all feel like that sometimes. After all, we're studying physics. In my opinion, people don't hit...

I listed the Theoretical Physics Major vs the Applied Physics Major above in my response to Choppy's post. I do worry about missing out on the classical physics I & II (Mechanics and E&M) and the other courses required by the theoretical focus. I do need to speak with my advisor as to which...

Thank, Gleem. I appreciate your insight. I'll continually refer to my wee thread here. Have a great New Years.

Thanks, Choppy. Appreciate it.

Thanks, gleem! I listed the differences between the "Physics Major" and the "Applied Physics Major" on Choppy's post. From both of your responses, it seems like that'd be the best route to take. Question: Is there anything that you learned or a particular subfield that you found interesting...

Thanks, Choppy. I appreciate your response. That link is very helpful (I had not read it, I am brand new to this forum). I go to the University of Utah and it seems that they have a lot of MRI, CT, and PET, but the bulk of their researchers do MR physics work with a splash of other things here...

If you're an average high school student, maybe it's not terribly realistic (at the get-go). Perhaps you'll have to attend the "average" university for us "average people" and if you really shine there then, yes, you can go to a great institution for your graduate work. Very few people come...

If you need additional resources for math, take a look at PatrickJMT and Krista King on YouTube. They do short, to-the-point videos and they're very useful. Regarding the mathematics, they'll very likely test you on subjects up to differential calculus (i.e., "College Algebra/Algebra II" and...

Hello fine friends, I'm looking for some advice. I'm a second year physics student and my GPA is 3.66. I currently work full time in sleep medicine as a registered polysomnographic technologist (RPSGT) and really enjoy working with patients, treating their sleep disorders, and, essentially...
