    Programs Switching Fields: Should I finish the major or just switch?

    Hmm, maybe you should try to revive your interest in Physics again, not that you have to go into a career for it but motivation really does make a difference in grades. In psychology, there's something called the mere exposure effect or familiarity principle, where the more you're exposed to...

    Schools University Physics without high school preparation

    Hi First time poster here. I recently applied to the University of Toronto in which I intend to do the Math and Physics Specialist, this university has a particular bad reputation for killing GPA; however, I'm confident that its mostly myth and with hard work anything can be achieved. The only...
