Hi! First I would like to thank you all for replying! I do not have traditional research experience, though I am working on the research for a book about the pre-colonial ecology of New York City. I am also an assistant ecologist at a consulting firm; I have been with the company for 6 months. Last semester, I took a graduate class called ecotoxicology. All of these recent experiences shaped my future, in ways that were not imaginable before. At my under grad, we have a "science track," which I have taken. It includes various science electives within the department, and across other departments like biology and I believe math. For the summer I am trying to get some research stuff, and I am in the process of applying. I would prefer to do research in the fall, so I can have the summer to prepare for the GRE. From all the people who I have spoken with so far, no one strongly feels the need for me to take physics. If the summer ends up not being promising, I will consider taking classes or trying to enroll in the ecology and evolutionary biology post-bac at Columbia...however funding for the program might be an issue. Thanks again!

Hi all! I don't know what to do! I want to study either environmental science, soil science, or ecology at the graduate level, however my undergrad does not exactly fit in any of these categories. I majored in environmental studies and minored in molecular and cellular biology and chemistry. I know I should take physics and maybe stats before apply to grad school, but is it a good idea to do this at community college? I am a bit anxious about applying, so any help is appreciated!
