Hi Everybody,
I graduated this past June with a BS in physics, a minor in math, two plus years of materials research (I was essentially a chemist in this lab), and a low GPA (~2.3). I desperately want to go to graduate school, but I put much effort into thinking about life after my BS. In my time at my undergrad, I learned two very important things: one, I HATE classical physics with a passion, but seem to excel in modern physics; two, the time I spent in that lab was the best part of my college career. My question is this: with my God-awful grades in physics what are the chances of being able to hop into a masters program in chemistry (as a show that I was simply in the wrong branch of the sciences) before taking a run at a PhD, in P-Chem of coure?
This has been an on going internal debate for me, whether I should leave physics and try for chem or not. Any constructive criticisms and/or advice anyone could provide would be much appreciated. I do plan on taking the subject test before I apply, I'm just curious if my lack of formal chemistry education is going to be an insurmountable obstacle.
