Would this be a good schedule for someone looking to major in physics and electrical engineering Also, which route should I take for my twelfth grade year?

I’m currently in eighth grade, but since seventh grade I’ve been planning out my high school schedule. I’m unsure on my twelfth grade schedule, though. I believe the science classes might be too much. Based on everything else I’m taking, what do you think I should do? I want to major in electrical engineering and or physics, but I have a strong interest towards American History. Algebra 1 and Geometry in Eighth Grade 9th • Financial Literacy-Alt Day • English 9 (H) • Algebra ll • Band-Alt Day • Physical Education 9-Alt Day • Engineering to Learn (H) • Advanced Placement United States History • French Il Precalculus (H) over the summer 10th • English 10 (H) • Advanced Placement Calculus AB • Band-Alt Day • Music Production l-Alt Day • Health for 10th Grade Students-Alt Day • Biology (H) • World History (H) • French lll 11th • Advanced Placement English Language and Composition • Advanced Placement Calculus C • Band-Alt Day • Music Production ll-Alt Day • Fitness/Weight Training-Alt Day • Chemistry (H) • Physics (H) • Advanced Placement United States Government and Politics • French lV 12th • English 12 (H) • Advanced Placement Computer Science A • Band-Alt Day • Advanced Placement Physics C-Mechanics • Advanced Placement Physics C-Electricity and Magnetism • Advanced Placement Psychology-Alt Day • Advanced Placement French Language • World Language Seminar Or •Advanced Placement French Language • Criminal Justice System • American Presidential Elections Or •Advanced Placement Chemistry

What are the most suitable majors for transitioning from engineering?

Suppose a person has completed the physics I-III sequence, the calculus I-III sequence, differential equations, probability and statistics, linear algebra, along with several engineering-specific credits. Which majors should they consider transitioning to where they have already met many of the required courses? Unfortunately, transitioning to one of the business majors is less feasible due to the amount of required courses & lack of overlap, and their IQ probably isn't high enough for a mathematics or physics major.

New Zealand HSFY, is L3 physics really important?

Hi! For all those New Zealanders out there that can help, I am planning on doing Health Science First Year in Otago next year and I have taken all the recommendations but L3 Physics. Last year I did not take L2 Physics so I am in year 13 and taking L2 Physics this year. Someone did recommend me that Jumpstart course in the summer for 6 weeks but I can't do that so will I be extremely disadvantaged? Will it be harder for me to get into medicine because I really want to get into medicine.

How can I ensure a successful career path in academia or industry after completing a PhD specializing in quantum physics, considering my diverse interests in languages and creative pursuits as well?

As someone who completed a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a master's in materials chemistry from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and worked as a product engineer for 7 years, I have a solid technical background. However, I have a persistent keen interest in physics, particularly quantum physics and its applications. I'm considering pursuing a PhD in either physics or physical chemistry to explore my passion for research science. At the same time, I am trained in materials chemistry, I speak 4 languages, and I actively pursue songwriting and writing on the side. How can I navigate this transition and what are some tips for maintaining a balance between my scientific pursuits and my other interests?

What are the best ways to organize your time as a physicist?

I'm a fairly busy person, but I really enjoy my free time and I am not the best at organizing my time. My schedule proves it greatly.

Do you have to be competitive as an astrophysicist?

I'm not much of a competitive person and would rather avoid that stuff, but people say it's a very competitive field. This scares me since it's one of my biggest dreams.

What are people's opinions on the new research on the speed of certain particles and the like?

Do you think there are particles that travel faster than the speed of light, or do you think that it is just nonsense? What are your opinions on the celestial bodies found in places previously thought to not exist in those places based on the Big Bang theory?

What does a day in the life of an astrophysicist/cosmologist look like?

What does one do during the day? Would you study research that has come out about new materials and other things, try to come up with theories, or try to find flaws in theories that have been brought up?

What do you do in your major, what is the advantages or disadvantages of your career, and lastly, have you ever regretted your decision of your career and why,... etc.

I'm struggling with choosing my career recently (as a 11th grade student). I have interests in physics, math kind of science. Few considerations are mechanical engineering jobs, architecture, IT/computer science, ...etc. I hope I'll get a respond from those professionals.

How can I manage my time better so I can reach my goal of having a 4.0 this year while having extracurriculars and SAT preparations?

For context, I am taking 3 APs and an astronomy community college class. I am struggling the most with astronomy, physics, and math. I am also the Junior Officer for an aerospace organization at my school called Aerotech and I am a writer and editor for a club called ARRAS (Arts and Magazine Club). In addition to this, I am currently working on a research project and thinking of making a research club for my school and dabbling in music production (hopefully I can start producing music once I can effectively manage my time). In short, I have too much on my plate.
