  1. I want to do physics as long as I can definitely.Here is the case. I prefer (fundamental)theory over experiment, expecting to learn more in gradschool. That partly explains I minor in maths. My current interest lies astrophysics(not inclined toward the observational). And Physics Program allows more branches of researches while Astro. Program requires related researches and excludes courses not related to astro. I have confirmed this from one prof. in the dept. I think maybe I could learn more about different fields before PHD qualification exam and then make a better choice. So I got stuck. Anyway, thanks for your opinion.
  2. 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!
