#

they will both be reaches right?

tranquil frost
#

Idk how competitive UIUC is for physics specifically

haughty hare
#

im oos for both of them if that counts too

tranquil frost
#

But I believe the physics major is within the engineering college

haughty hare
#

alr cool

tranquil frost
#

So yeah prob a reach

#

Is there a reason for the 3.5

haughty hare
#

i was stupid and i decided to do five aps this yr

#

smthg that was way out of my capabilities

#

probably poor time management as well, undiagnosed adhd?

#

also, do u have any safeties in mind?

tranquil frost
#

What state

#

Are you

haughty hare
#

md

tranquil frost
#

UMD is probably a safety

haughty hare
#

but isnt it getting rly competitive?

#

esp for my stats, which aren't good for umd

gritty wasp
#

UMD is cracked for physics

#

OSU is really good

gritty wasp
#

Rochester if you’re specifically into optics

#

And it has an open curriculum

#

good research opportunities

#

UMass Amherst pretty good

#

Colorado Boulder is really good

#

Especially in astrophysics

haughty hare
#

do u think osu, rochester, umass and colorado boulder r all alright safeties for me?

haughty hare

gritty wasp
#

CU boulder is a safety

#

Same with penn state and Rutgers
