Oh no! Not cramming physics. I don't mean to learn anything/everything in advance. All the learning I do is for fun. I just mean I wish to gain some hands-on experience with projects that would further help me with opportunities in the future. There aren't any such issues as of now. Everything...

All right, do you have any ideas for something that runs year-round? Good point! I sure would learn those things as well. But it wouldn't take all summer to learn about all that. I've attended several Virtual events briefing us about how things work. I also have an in-person event scheduled for...

Yeah! That is exactly why I want to seek any opportunity to gain hands-on experience with research and collaboration.

Huh... I guess you're right. It doesn't hurt to try out more things though; but sure! I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Thank you!

I'm sorry... What do you mean?

I would love to dive into that and I will. But honestly, I've got some great skills already that I've recently come to realise aren't as useful as one would expect them to be unless you have a "certificate" showing you have those skills. I am an international student. We have rigorous STEM...

To be honest, a part of me would love to be a science communicator when I grow up. I know there is a plethora of communicators out there already who are creating amazing explainers and YouTube videos but I just love creating my own! I learn so much in the process! I love how facts and details...

I am sorry for using such language. I will keep that in mind from now on, thank you! That is precisely it! Most summer program registration deadlines are over. Is there any other activity that you might recommend? Anything that would help me develop practices crucial for scientific pursuits as...

I wanna spend my summers doing something meaningful before I join. I don't want to do it for Money or anything - just want to gain some experience and be useful. I have decent/good Maths, Physics, Chemistry and engineering foundation as well as programming skills and just wanna put them to use...

I have absolutely no idea about how and when to give the proficiency exams 💀 the site contradicts itself. First, it says there were these placement tests for freshmen. But now they aren't valid proficiency exams for full credit. Nevertheless, I can't take the placement test anyway, I am exempted...

sure thing... we do have coursework as rigorous as calc 2 here in India though

Both of em lol... I applied to Arizona State, University of Arizona, Iowa State, Rutgers, Stony Brook, UBufallo, and got accepted with scholarships to all. Rejected from Purdue, UMaryland and UIUC though. Probably should've applied early. My fault I applied fo the regular decision. Just wasn't...

Ahahah! Well, even though it did, The uncertainty of what's gonna happen in the future still has a lower bound. Gonna take my chances though!

All right guys... News for you all. After some careful thought and several talks with respective students from different colleges, I've enrolled at Rutgers. It's a good school; all of them are, be it Rutgers, Stony Brook, U of Arizona or Arizona State. Rutgers, at least to me, seemed like a fun...

1. The entire visa process and visiting would be expensive, let alone the flight tickets. 2. It takes 2-4 weeks and Stony Brook's decision has to be accepted by May 1st. So yeah, I would be relying majorly on online sources ig. Thank you for the suggestion though! However, visiting as an...
