Hello all,
I heard that a lot of times, graduate programs want to see if you are a "fit" for their program.
During my undergraduate, I did 2 years of laboratory research focusing on plant cell wall, ultimately creating biomass into efficient bio-fuel. My undergraduate degree is Biochemistry. I enjoyed what I did, but in reality it wasn't my top choice of research, I rather took it on because it was an opportunity I did not want to pass up.
However, when I apply to graduate schools, I really want to focus on pharmacology, immunology. I know that my previous research experience and what I actually want to pursue do not really relate.
Would this be a bad thing?
