Hello all. I have been reading this forum for a little while now, but I am currently worried about applying to grad school and I could use someone's objective opinion on my chances of getting into grad school. My interest is in geobiology, but I am worried about the fact that I haven't taken any classes in undergraduate geology and that my research has not been in geology. Here's what I am looking at:
*I have a BA in Mathematics and will have a BS in Biology. I don't have a GPA because my school is based on evaluations instead of grades.
*I have done research in astronomy that might end up getting published later this year or early next year.
*I scored fairly high on my practice GRE (680 Verbal, 780 Quantitative).
*I believe that at least 2 of my letters of recommendation will be strong, including the one from my research adviser.
*I founded and ran my schools astronomy club during my senior year.
As I say my only real concerns are that I don't have any geology undergraduate classes and that the research I have done is in an unrelated field. So does anyone have an opinion on my chances.
Thank you for any help.
