While I don't know exactly what field I want to study or pursue throughout college, and further into my working days, I have always liked Engineering and Physical Sciences. Unfortunately, if I don't get into The North Carolina School of Science and Math (NCSSM) this year, I won't likely be able to afford any school other than NC State. So, at NC State I would either chose to study for a BA in Physics, or a BS in Chemical Engineering, mainly because I find chemistry and pre-calc fun, but also because they are fun to tell people about. Also, I could not find a BS in Physics at NC State, otherwise I would've taken that.
In order to get a BA in Physics at NC State, I would need the following math courses [1]:
• Calculus I (Which requires pre-calc)
• Calculus II (Which requires Calculus I)
• Calculus III (Which requires Calculus II)
• Appl Diff Eq I (Which Requires Calculus III)
• Linear Algebra (Which requires Calculus II, and Appl Diff Eq I is recommended)
• Statistics, although I am taking this course currently as an AP so I shouldn't have to take it again
• Introduction to Programming (Which requires nothing, but it is advised that one takes other programming courses)
• Computation/Numerical Methods (This also requires no pre-requisite, but it is advised that one takes some numerical analysis courses)
All of the aforementioned classes require you to get at least a C- for the BA degree.
Now, In order to get the BS in Chemical Engineering, one would need the following math courses [1]:
• Calculus I
• Calculus II
• Calculus III
• Appl Diff Eq I
All of the requirements for these classes are the same as the ones needed for the Physics degree. According to a graph [3] found on the internet, the majority of the applicants who were a...

... include the calculus needed for both degrees, however if NSCU doesn't recognize the math courses as actual calculus courses, they would still be great preparation for college. This is of course if I stay at Broughton, if I move on to NCSSM I will likely take Calculus I, and II, and possibly even III if I overload in senior year. Both of these options (IB and NCSSM) will be beneficial to me as a math student, and will help me to understand The Math I Will Take in College.

Tuition is the cost to take classes at a college or university and is the most expensive part of a college education as it makes up 60 % of the overall price tag (Bashkar and Gopalan). Tuition has become increasingly more expensive over the years and has increased by nearly 500% since 1986, which is far more than inflation or tuition (Willie). The question is, why has there been such a mas...

My lifetime goal is helping others and I plan to use my career to fulfill it. The classes I’m taking right now and the ones I’m planning to take senior year are classes I believe will influence my decision in my college major/career as well as counting toward my GPA. This will help me get into schools who have medical programs that I’m considering. Also, taking AP classes can help me save money since I can earn college credit. I’m taking all AP classes, and the electives I’m taking have been classes that have helped me consider being in the medical field. I’ve found that over the years, science and math are what I’m doing better in versus history and english. I believe by being in the medical field, I can help others in the best way I can.
Most universities require four English credits, at least three math credits, at least two foreign language credits, at least two social studies credits, and at least two laboratory science credits to accept students into the school. However, these schools do look at test scores and students with a musical background do tend to have higher test scores. Additionally, if there is a question between two possible applicants, colleges will look at extracurricular activities. Whichever student has the most impressive list of extracurricular activities is more likely to get accepted than the other.

I am a dedicated, focused student looking to push the boundaries of Engineering Physics with creative out of the box thinking. I have the drive to be successful and positively represent UBC Engineering Physics. I have a passion for physics and math which is why I believe this program is so appealing and a perfect choice. Having already started, run and sold a successful landscaping company, I have experience in entrepreneurship and have determined being an entrepreneur is something I want to pursue in the future. I believe Engineering Physics would give me the opportunity and breadth of knowledge to make my entrepreneurial vision a reality and allow me to find solutions to the issues that will impact the future of humanity.

I have always been a math-science oriented person, and until my sophomore year of high school, my primary interest was in biological sciences. However, as a student in the Pre-International Baccalaureate Program, I was required to enroll in the physics I class. Walking into the physics lab, I saw an energetic, eccentric woman in a room covered with posters of the periodic table and Alberta Einstein alongside those of Elvis Presley. I would never view physics in the same light again.

Education: Masters in Theoretical Phyisics required, Doctorate preferred. We are not seeking those with disciplines solely in applied physics.
Nash earned a full scholarship to the Carnegie Institute of Technology. After starting his college career with a major in chemical engineering, he later switched to chemistry and eventually mathematics. He later graduated with a bachelor of science in mathematics and a master of science in mathematics in 1948. After graduation he started his graduate studies at Princeton University.
Due to the same affinity towards Mathematics, Science and research in general, I have opted for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as my major subjects in high school (XII th standard), where I have scored the top marks with 91%. I have secured State 340 Rank among the 250,000 students in the Common Engineering Entrance Exam (EAMCET), it’s the only Entrance Exam for admissions into the undergraduate colleges in the state. I have also secured All India Rank of 107 ...
There is no set test score to get into rose state. You can take compass tests to determine your places. To get accepted you have to graduate in the top half of your class, or another option is to take remedial classes that do not count toward your degree. The curricular route im taking to meet my career goal is the standard college preparatory route.
I am currently taking Maths, Chemistry and Biology to Advanced Higher, all of which are challenging and stimulating subjects. They have all influenced me in different ways and were integral in my decision to pursue a degree in Chemical Engineering. They have also helped me obtain a foundation of core skills and extended knowledge to hopefully prepare me undertaking my desired degree. There is no doubt that Maths and chemistry have helped fine tune and advance my problem solving skills and think in a more logical manner, all of which I believe to be essential for this degree.
