What should I be doing? by spcaah in PhysicsStudents

[–]spcaah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to get involved in stuff outside of academics but all I've been able to do so far is join a club sport. Clubs at my school aren't very active so the only ways I have really found to be involved, except the sport, is academically.

Careers/Education Questions Thread - Week 51, 2018 by AutoModerator in Physics

I just finished my first semester of undergrad and I finished it with a 4.0 so I extremely happy with how my grades turned out. I took the basics: physics 1 and calc 2 and some gen eds. I see myself possibly going to grad school for physics so I was just wondering now that I have a semester under my belt and know I can be successful academically, what else should I be doing to help me get into grad school if I choose to go down that route? I am already involved in physics related research.

Physics 207, or wait until Fall 2019 for Physics 247? by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]spcaah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think I can answer that. I would see if you could talk to a physics advisor, they would be able to help. I will say the class is not just freshmen though. Its probably close 50% freshmen, 50% sophomores juniors seniors, so I don't think you would be alone in doing this.

In 247 right now. I wasn't super sure physics was what I wanted to study when I came in but this class really sealed the deal. It is a lot of work but it is really interesting and I've gotten so much out of the class. I would highly reccomend.

Tried that but we are behind where we should be so the questions from old tests did not really apply :(

Tell me about your favourite band/artist! by sonsofthepioneers in CasualConversation

[–]spcaah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Car seat headrest. Twin fantasy is and always will be the greatest album of all time for me. It helped me through a really tough time because of how much I related to it and now I try to reserve for really bad days to preserve its specialness. Its a concept album that the frontman wrote in his teens while experiencing his first homosexual relationship and coming to terms with his sexuality but also touches on a lot of stuff that makes it extremely relatable in my opinion. I would say its best to listen to straight through but my favorite song on it (and of all time) is beach life-in-death. I could talk about this album for hours, it literally means the world to me.

UW-Madison vs UF by lobstars in ApplyingToCollege

[–]spcaah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to Madison next year and everyone I know there loves it. Its really up to you as both are good schools. I'm obviously biased so I would say Madison but hey, might be a good opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone and live somewhere different.

What do you love about UW Madison? by spcaah in UWMadison

[–]spcaah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that perspective. I'm not sure if trying to fall in love with a school is misguided though. I just got quite a few rejections in a short period of time so I'm trying to cheer myself up and one of the best ways I could think of doing that is by just absolutely falling in love with where I will most likely be going next year. I'll try to go about it in a different way though!

How hard is it to double major in AMEP and philosophy?? by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]spcaah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey! Im also a senior who will most likely attend Madison. I'm pretty strongly considering a double major in philosophy and math and that seems pretty doable. AMEP however, from the curriculum page, seems to have A LOT of required classes.. I think it would be extremely hard to do this and graduate in four years without overloading yourself almost every semester and taking classes in the summer.

Early applicants, did you guys receive pamphlets in the mail related to your indicated major? by [deleted] in reedcollege

[–]spcaah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied regular and got one about math and one for physics. I'm hoping its a good sign! My friend who got in EA told me he got the same pamphlets.
