They will obviously appear on my transcript but not overall GPA, because the A replaced the F. I can explain how that grade changed to the universities that I am applying to.

Yes I am a full time student. 12 credit hours for each semester, as I dropped ENGR on the first one due to bad schedule and adapting to the university. However, two courses were not counted because they were part of a prep program.

Not sure about staying here though. I will certainly apply to another university here as a safe option. I will apply this year and next year if I got rejected; I have better chances to increase my GPA, ECs and complete some prerequisites to transfer if I applied next fall.

As for full payment, yes, a scholarship here where I live is going to fully pay for my tuition. As a side note, I talked to my adviser about making a physics club and I was told to talk to professors about; I did before, as I wanted to build a cyclotron/particle accelerator.

I recently subscribed to APS and I discovered later that my institution has a subscription that grants me an access to everything there.

I plan on registering for their march meeting. I also plan on making a project and publishing a research paper. That will be a good start in my personal research and great ECs for applying.
