Move out of the place I live now so I don't have to pay rent. Backpack and/or climb around Montana, Idaho and maybe other western states. Possibly WWOOF if I run out of money for food.

Hey, Guys! I need some help. I will be applying for PhD programs this fall and I am really anxious to know if I even have a chance. I am also stuck trying to decide whether to apply for something I am more qualified for or to go out on a limb and apply for something slightly out of my field. The Stats: - graduated early from UConn with a 3.5 GPA in Molecular Biology in December '08 - Since then I've been working at a small biotech start-up as a molecular biologist. I don't have any other research experience. - only took the GREs once so far, but will take them again. So far I only have an 1180, but I know I can improve on that, I didn't study all that hard. - I am confident that I will do well once I get INTO a program, my problem is actually getting in, of course The two areas of study that I'm almost equally interested in is Immunology(autoimmune disease in particular) and Ecology (biodiversity and conservation biology). Obviously, I am slightly more qualified for Immunology, but at the same time I am a little more passionate about Ecology. So yeah. HELP??? Thanks
