Thank You Everyone for their comments they were very helpful! I have decided to not take the master and continue working in the same lab! Hopefully this time next year I will be going into a PhD program!

Happy to hear it! I personally think you made a great choice. Best of luck in all your endeavors!

Hey everyone another question! 

So I did a undergraduate honors thesis in the field of cancer biology and how exosomes plays a role in cancer metastasis. This was a wet lab experience and in a PhD program I want to focus on cancer research for my thesis. I received Highest Honors for my Thesis and was wondering if doing this would be beneficial for my application or does everyone who applies have this?
