<p>Hahaha potentially addressing title/gender is really a pain in the neck when you don’t really know the person well. :)</p>

<p>3+2 physics/ engineering program? Do you have a specific program that we can look at?
Physics engineering is probably the same thing as engineering Physics if I am guessing it right. I do have a good thread for engineering physics</p>

<p>poly mean schools that are so well-known for their technical study, such as NYU-Poly, MIT, and such, and not necessarily schools like Columbia, CUNY (CCNY), and others (which have engineering schools, but their liberal arts are also good)?</p>

22

<p>People that I’ve talked to told me to stay away from “engineering physics” because you’re only getting a smattering of education from both fields, often not enough to be either an “engineer” or a “physicist”.</p>

<p>3+2 and Engineering Physics programs we are looking at</p>

<p>University of Pacific [Engineering</a> Physics - University of the Pacific](<a href=“http://www.pacific.edu/x10464.xml]Engineering”>http://www.pacific.edu/x10464.xml)
Biola [Program:</a> Engineering Physics - Biola University - acalog ACMS?](<a href=“http://catalog.biola.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=7&poid=484&returnto=166]Program:”>http://catalog.biola.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=7&poid=484&returnto=166)
Willamette [CLA:</a> Physics - Willamette University](<a href=“http://www.willamette.edu/cla/physics/engineering/index.php]CLA:”>http://www.willamette.edu/cla/physics/engineering/index.php)
Whitworth [Whitworth</a> University Physics Department - Majors & Minors Offered](<a href=“http://www.whitworth.edu/Academic/Department/Physics/Majors&Minors.htm]Whitworth”>Page Not Found | Whitworth University)
Point Loma [Physics</a> and Engineering](<a href=“http://www.pointloma.edu/UndergraduateCatalog/Courses/PhysicsandEngineering.htm]Physics”>http://www.pointloma.edu/UndergraduateCatalog/Courses/PhysicsandEngineering.htm) and [Engineering</a> Physics Major](<a href=“http://www.pointloma.edu/UndergraduateCatalog/Courses/PhysicsandEngineering/EngineeringPhysics.htm]Engineering”>http://www.pointloma.edu/UndergraduateCatalog/Courses/PhysicsandEngineering/EngineeringPhysics.htm) </p>

<p>Loyola Marymount <a href=“http://admission.lmu.edu/academics/majors/Physics_and_Engineering_Physics.htm[/url]”>http://admission.lmu.edu/academics/majors/Physics_and_Engineering_Physics.htm&lt;/a&gt; or <a href=“http://admission.lmu.edu/academics/majors/Mechanical_Engineering.htm[/url]”>http://admission.lmu.edu/academics/majors/Mechanical_Engineering.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The “poly’s” are CSU 's at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (fantasy reach) and Pomona (match/safety)</p>

<p>“ADHD” , “hyper” , with SAT’s > GPA. The soccer really organizes and motivates him.</p>

24

<p>I have the impression “Engineering Physics” is best pursued at the >= MS level.</p>

25

<p>If you really are interested in Engineering Physics
University of Pacific Engineering Physics - University of the Pacific
Willamette CLA: Physics - Willamette University
These are good… just how I see the education quality and benefits…</p>

<p>But for Pacific - are students guarantee to receive Co-ops?</p>

<p>Thank you all for your help!
I think my plan right now is to take a variety of classes including calc I and see how it goes. Possibly taking a pass/fail and/or getting help from the math center.
I didn’t take the SAT IIs but I took the ACTs and my math scores were pretty disappointing which makes me nervous. I’m at least going to try though.</p>

27

<p>Personally, I love Physics… What kind of physics do you like ? do you like readings books on physics ? reading physics articles ?
Also, i’m curious… how come you’ve already been accepted into an LAC ? Even ED is far away…</p>
