you'll be missed buddy

I'm a rising senior in high school. Next year, I'll be taking a project based programming class that only 1-2 students really take per year. I want to do something in Python that will show my professors in my freshman year of college that I'm ready to do research in physics.

I will have taken all of the AP mathematics, physics, and computer science classes.

I thought about doing a black hole simulation and learning the equations/math for it, but I'm not sure that that would be wise to do in Python.

I'll have a full school year to work on the project.

I think this year's gon a have the highest pass rate for AP Physics. This year's looked way easier than past exams.

I'm 17, I'm a rising senior, and I live in KY. I plan on going to UKY for physics.

Are there any scholarships that I can put in for right now that tailor specifically to physicists or scientists? I've been searching for days, and most STEM scholarships look like they're tailored to engineers or tech students. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

Anything helps, whether it's KY based or not. It's really important that I get scholarships because my family lives paycheck to paycheck and there's no shot I can pay even in state tuition at UK without some kind of financial aid. I haven't completed the FAFSA yet. Regardless, anything and everything helps.

PS - this subreddit has been super kind in answering my questions and giving me advice, you guys are awesome 🫶

I'm a rising senior, and I'm curious what I'll get to research in uni. Did the physicist giants leave anything for us to discover (obviously yes)?

I'm asking because I want to be a competent PhD candidate for physics.

I'm 17, I live in KY, and I'm about to do AP Physics C: E&M. I'll have taken all the AP math, science, and computer exams. I really wanted to go to University of Michigan or UIUC, but my family has very little money and I won't be able to get a job until college. So UK seems to be the obvious choice for me given my situation.

Does anyone know what physics at UK is like? What's good and what's bad about it? I wanna get my doctorate and do research, although that is a while down the line. Specifically high energy. Thanks!

I'm a rising senior and resident in Kentucky. I'll be going to UK next year for physics. For those who've taken the physics courses- how is the program? What's good and what's bad about it? Will I get High Energy research opportunities early on? What was your experience? If it matters- I've taken all the AP Physics classes
