You will probably get more useful answers if you clarify your situation. Your profile says US, and your post says that you are a beginning grad student. So are you a grad student at a university in the US? If so, are you in a Master's or PhD program? If you are in a PhD program, have you...
It's not simply an issue of translating the transcript. In the US, if an applicant for a position were educated outside the US, there are potentially three separate issues concerning educational credentials (depending on the position): (1) a translation of the transcript (that's the easy...
OP: You've received good advice from V50 and gleem. How well you will be positioned towards the end of your first semester senior year, when grad school applications are due, remains to be seen. Right now, all you have are optimistic extrapolations of what your GPA will be, what your PGRE...
<<Emphasis added>> What motivated others to study physics is irrelevant. Only what motivates you to study physics is. There is no way you can determine at this stage surely whether you will enjoy and thrive in physics. That's why it's important to have a flexible undergrad program. If you're...
There's the whole wonderful world of experimental physics. And if you're curious about what fun explosions physics can result in, go watch Oppenheimer. :oldbiggrin:
So, if you do enroll in this university (that you have been offered admission to) in the UK, what are the program limitations? Are you saying that you will be admitted as a chemistry major, without the option of transferring to a physics major? Is that correct?
If the program at that...
"Research in theoretical physics" is very broad, and "schooler" is vague. If you want advice of value, you need to tell us more of your educational background.
Well, the OP is considering programs in the US. So PhD physics programs in the US are structured substantially differently from PhD physics programs in, e.g., many European universities. There many PhD positions are posted just like any other employment positions: PhD supervisors seek PhD...
Well, if the official course title is "General Mathematics" instead of "Calculus", then there's nothing you can do about it. Ask the university if they are willing to change the translation from "Practical" to "Experimental". If they refuse, don't worry about it. Many titles are not...
Since the transcript is provided directly by your university, and not by a translation service, any errors would need to be corrected by your university. Are the suspected errors in the original actually errors, or are those the official course titles?
In the future, should you need...
* For what purpose will the transcript be used?
* If I understand you correctly, the transcript is originally in a non-English language. The original transcript is correct, but the English translation is not. Is that right? If so, who provided the English translation?
Why tie yourself to the additional requirements of a double major? You can always take specific math or astronomy courses as electives. A double major has value only under limited circumstances (e.g., you want to go to grad school and are on the fence as to which major to pursue; or you apply...
