small liberal arts vs. other types of school
Posted: Sat Jun 12, 2010 10:00 pm
Hi,
I tried to find an answer to the question, but I couldn't really find one.
I'm a rising senior at a top-20 small liberal arts school. Although it's a fine institution, it's not as well known as big schools in both general and physics.
Anyhow, would it be more difficult (or easier) for me to get into a grad school?
actually, I have one more question.
How different is getting into REU programs from getting into grad school?
I was having a hard time getting into an REU program this summer (i applied ~12 programs, but i got rejected except one, which is at Fermilab). I'm not sure if getting into grad schools will be as difficult as REUs.
Thanks,
Harry
