<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p>I am a junior considering Reed. I am passionate about math and physics and dedicated to pursuing in-depth, advanced research and coursework in college. Would Reed be a good fit for me? I know there is a nuclear reactor on campus and enthusiasm for this field of physics, but what about on the more theoretical side of things? </p>
<p>Thanks! </p>
<p>If you check the Reed website, you can find pages with commencement information. The information for a particular year will contain a List of Graduates with each graduate’s name, and also the title of their thesis. Judging by the thesis titles, there is no shortage of students who have concentrated on theoretical math and physics topics for their own work.</p>
<p>And if you have a chance to visit Reed in person, you can go into the library, pull any thesis off the shelf, and have a look for yourself at the science.</p>
<p>Hey. I’m also looking at Reed.</p>
<p>Reed is very strong in sciences for those who are seeking to do research later on. I’m sure you know of the great PhD placement Reed has, especially in the natural sciences. I can’t say exactly for theoretical/mathematical physics research at undergrad level. But overall Reed will prepare you to do whatever subfield you want to do in grad school for physics.</p>
