Status: two offers received only. One from Virginia Tech(Physics&Astronomy), one from UMN(Astrophysics Program)
UMN(Physics Program) waitlist
Questions(problems): which should I choose? I want to stay in academia after my PHD(or postdoc)
I am interested in astrophysics but kind of don't want to narrow my future choice by accepting the offer(Astrophysics) from UMN. That's why I still hope to get off the waitlist.
Currently interested in math/statistics and have maths as minor, is it possible,double major or continuation of my minor in graduate study? So I would have more alternatives if I can't get a position in (astro)physics.
Do you have any advice regarding my situation and knowledge of porgrams and schools above?
UMN or VT?Astrophysics or physics(waiting for good news)?Stay focused in physics or planning for more options?
Thanks for your opinion/advice/comments, anything!
