(no subject)
I am almost a double major because halfway through my bachelor's degree I decided that I liked chemistry better than biology, but I am not officially a chemistry major. My university wont allow me to get a double major due to a max credit cap they have.
I am applying to a chemistry program and they have told me that they aren't sure my chemistry background is enough for the program (even though I am only 3 classes short of a chemistry degree).
Due to this, if I get rejected from graduate school, I am planning on moving to the city where the school is after my graduation and find a part time job and offer to do volunteer research in the lab I eventually want to work at for my graduate work.
Do you think this is a good idea? I thought that maybe by doing the research, I can show them that I am really good at what I want to do and that my background is enough, so that when the next round of applications comes, they already know me and I have a better chance of getting in. I have thought about considering other schools, but this particular one has the exact program with the exact subject I want to work on.
