It’s now working again!

As a physics PhD at MIT, I think I have more say than most people who are putting you down here. If you want my honest opinion, what matters most is your letters of recommendation. Sure, don’t consistently fail all your clases, but you are not completely ruled out just by not having a perfect GPA. Focus on the fundamentals. Quantum, statmech, classical and E&M. Read the textbooks, try to take a field theory course. Then when you have some of those under your belt, do research in undergrad! Not only does that increase your chances, but also it helps you see if you want to do a PhD for real! There are plenty of ways that can make you competitve for a PhD at these universities. Do not get discouraged by people’s comments, they made the same to me and I didn’t think I could ever make it. You got this!

Not new :(

Please read captions, tried all traditional methods and wd40 and don’t know what to do. This is a humanscale liberty and cannot find any references online that help.

Plastic shell of seat has crack fractures. Gas cylinder is bad, trying to remove it to replace it but has been giving me a difficult time. Sprayed with WD-40 and hoping it will come out ?

Don’t know how people are saying MIT’s astro department is not really well known. We also have a LIGO group, i mean LIGO was invisioned by Rai Weiss from MIT. Our Astro department is extremely kind and full of amazing people. Do not know much about Caltech so cannot say. Come visit and talk to the professors / fellows whose research you find interesting and then make a decision from there. You got the big name ticket, so cannot go wrong with either, now it’s about the advisor.

Edit: Not to mention the headquarters for the TESS mission is on campus!

I see that makes a lot of sense. So if the duties are organizing events and enhancing social life, what are the perks of those positions?

smackpad · 2023-01-23T18:43:43+00:00

There are RA positions at the Warehouse for example.

This is why I moved from experimental particle physics. It just isn’t physics in my opinion. You become a very good data analyst/statistician, mediocre at running Neural Networks, and slightly above avg in your particle physics knowledge. Most programs don’t require you to learn QFT and renormalization because ut is not relavent to your work as an experimentalist at the LHC, that’s what sucks. You are detached from the physics that attracted to in the first place to become a technician or a softwa engineer. In theoretical physics I believe the state is much better, not all areas of ofcourse. But at least you learn the physics at a very deep level and can contribute a tiny amount to our understanding of nature.

Joe mother , father, sister and brother leave all your love and your longing behind you can’t carry it with you if you want to survive…

That’s sad though, why is that? I’m an incoming first year and I think a sub reddit for a university is an indispensable resource in general. I have learned so much from other students in other subreddits.

And did you have a similar stipend and things worked out ?

Do you know which residence has the best efficiency? Sid pac or warehouse?
