University Admissions: Graduate | Forum profile

By the way. There are some people who did not major in physics, but then did a graduate degree in physics. These tend to be math or chemstry majors, whose undergraduate study covered much of what undergrad physics majors learn. One notable exception is Ed Witten. He majored in history and minored in linguistics. Then he became a political journalist and activist and quit. Then did the first semester of economics Ph.D. program at Wisconsin,...
