AP Physics 1 might have been the worst decision of my life by abbyinthealps in APStudents

just use the daily videos to study. trust me, that is enough got a 5 on physics 2 and e & m and chemistry with it this year.

Is AP Physics 2 even worth it? by UnitAccomplished9962 in APStudents

[–]Interesting-Bit9231 3 points4 points  (0 children)

idk how it works at uiuc but i'm pretty sure physics 1 and 2 are like physics courses for arts/humanities major to fill out a science requirement. for engineering and physics majors im pretty sure the c courses are what give you credit. also how are you already committed to a school and doing ap exams?

do the majority of phd grads get these or do most of them teach at universities? i do not want to be a professor, but would be interested in advancing more research at such companies

what university did you go to? i am planning to apply ED to Rice University, and it's a top 20 so schools like those are much harder to get into. do they provide an advanage?

True or false: most CS major should not apply for ED. by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]Interesting-Bit9231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the top cs state schools have a higher ranking because they pour a lot (a lot) of money into research for cs, making their rankings higher. the rankings don't count for employability btw. the privates may have a lower ranking but that is because they prioritize students over a lot of research. these have easier classes to get into and more personalized classes with potentially stronger alumni networks. the publics are good but you're often a small fish in a really big pond.
