ASU Physics!

<p>Hello. I am a high school senior, and I have been admitted to ASU’s engineering school last week.</p>

<p>My pursuit is physics, but for spontaneous reasons, I applied for a mechanical engineering major. And I got into the engineering school because my major change didn’t go in. However, I’ve done some research, and I really like what I’m hearing about ASU’s engineering program. I am really starting to lean towards just going with it.</p>

<p>But I am yet to have heard a single reputable reference of its physics program other than its official (very general) undergraduate testimonies and graduate school rankings. </p>

<p>So if you had any experience, I’d like to know how you feel about ASU’s physics.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Well, ASU does have Paul Davies. Just last night watched on PBS a lecture he gave in March at UW-Madison’s Discovery Ctr. He’s quite a guy. Look him up.</p>

<p>Also, I posted some time ago in one of these threads about a student who did undergrad in physics at ASU and now in grad school at MIT who is profiled in last year’s NMSC annual report. You can read the annual report on their website. He describes the opportunities he had at ASU.</p>

<p>Thanks! Helped a lot. By any chance, are you familiar with ASU physics yourself?</p>

<p>No, sorry. My daughter is in math and only freshman, so didn’t look at physics dept. She is only a freshman, but we investigated math dept thoroughly so if that is of interest to you I know something about that.</p>

<p>Ok :slight_smile: thanks for the insight</p>

<p>A physics/math major at ASU just won a Goldwater.</p>
