[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CalTech is pass fail for first 2 years, no? How can that be soul crushing?[/quote]https://www.its.caltech.edu/~ph1a/QPs/QP1-53.pdf
These are the quiz problems for first quarter physics.[/quote]

There are 54 pages - so about 5-6 pages per week? It took me a week for one page at the GMU level and people thought I was smart. I didn't take AP Physics though - I was a HS Senior taking CS classes. The Caltech people did and this is likely a rigorous review.

I think it's doable for any Physics major if given enough time - the hard part is time. But then I also heard that these are solved with groups of smart people. I remember reading that you try it alone and you will fail;

Op - can you post a sample project/quiz for a CS course? I can compare apples to apples.[/quote]
