Hi everyone, I am a current junior who’s planning on applying to colleges as a physics major. It would be super cool if previous physics majors posted their results, since I’m not sure what schools to apply to.
Most undergraduate physics programs are very similar. You can get a solid physics degree in a lot of places. The real questions are the following
- What are your financial constraints? Make sure you apply to schools that will meet your need and not cause you to go into too much debt.
- What is your goal after graduation? if it is to go to graduate school, make sure you have plenty of research opportunities on campus and that the curriculum includes a full year of quantum mechanics and electrodynamics.
- Your "fit" to the college you attend is very important. Make sure you feel at home.
