This is a general question about "academic inbreeding". How important is it when considering a graduate school, and what exactly is it considered? I know that an example of inbreeding might be to earn a bachelors, masters, and PhD from the same school and same location but what if they are from different school in the same state? For example: Bachelors - University of State - Location A Masters - State University - Location B PhD - University of State - Location C

Hello - I am close to applying to grad schools. I am looking for a PhD program in enviornmental science/ecology. My undergrad degree is in biochemistry with a minor in physics. My school didn't have an enviornmental program. GPA was 3.35 . Will having such a technical science focus (bio, chem, phys) be a good thing or a bad thing? I originally didn't know what I wanted to do so I figured that I'd start with a good science base. Thanks.
