Is a Math minor a big plus in application?
Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2021 11:15 am
I'm a junior physics major at a big state school top 20 in physics. Since I transferred and changed major on the way, my course schedule is quite tight. I can take some advanced/graduate physics courses (which will get me an "Honors" physics degree), or take some math courses which can get me a math minor, but can't do both. For the good of phd application, which one should I choose? (Following my heart I would choose the former. I'm asking because I see lots of people with math co-major/minor in applicant profiles.)
Some information that might be relevant to this decision:
-My research field is condensed matter/AMO experiment, and plan to apply for this
-My GPA (both overall and major) is ~3.9
