Hi all, I posted this in the chemistry forum as well, but seeing as it's likely that very different people view the two forums, I wanted to get some more opinions. So, I just finished my sophomore year, and my major is mostly chemistry. Although that is my major, and that is the area I'm mostly planning on taking classes in, since my research has been in materials science, and is where I work, I wanted to apply to graduate school in materials science instead of chemistry. Does anyone know how this works out? Here are some questions I have: -Will graduate schools care that I am not officially a "materials science" major? Since I'm still planning on continuing as a chemistry major (and physics), should I continue down chemistry courses, or take more "direct" materials science courses? -What courses in materials science should everybody take? Applied mathematics? Computer Science? Thanks all!

Hi all! I'm a rising junior at my undergraduate institution, studying the likes of chemistry and physics. Although I love chemistry, so far the work I've done is mostly materials science, so I was thinking materials science graduate school versus chemistry. Here are some questions I have. -How are admissions different for chemistry vs. materials science? -Since I'm continuing my major in chemistry, what sort of materials science courses should I take? -Will it matter too much that my major isn't officially "materials science?" My school doesn't really have a set materials science and engineering program that some school's do. -What do top schools in materials science, like stanford, MIT, Berkeley look for? I know that I'm posting this in chemistry, and may seem a little odd, but I was hoping there would be people that had experience applying to both chemistry and materials at the same time (I'll be on that boat), and could offer advice! Thanks in advance!
