Oh, interesting. So I send them ALL of my academic records and they derive a GPA from that? Am I understanding you correctly? I guess my primary concern is not making it past the initial gpa-cutoff filter. A letter explaining the situation is probably a good idea though. Thanks for the input.

I am in a bit of a difficult situation and I could use some advice about the magnitude of my problem and possible options. First, a bit of history... I had a rough adolescence resulting in graduating two years late. Not doing any studying or homework in high school lead to decent liberal arts...

That is definitely a situation that I want to avoid. Like you said, it seems the really cool stuff in ecology requires a lot of math. Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid naturalist but I want a deeper understanding of the processes involved. Thanks for the review! I'll go pick that book up asap.

I am a first year undergraduate working towards a BSc in biology (ecology). My interest in ecology is primarily on the community->global scales and around the intersection with Earth systems. My big conundrum at the moment is figuring out how and whether to equip myself for theoretical...

Oh really? That seems very strange to me, but what do I know? I would have imagined that self studying that quantity of information would be quite challenging. I wonder if it comes with significant deficits in biological understanding? I am not sure exactly what you mean by this, can you...

Thanks for the reply Simfish! This information gathering project is challenging because I am at the "I don't know what I don't know" stage of ignorance and there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on theoretical ecology floating around. I've tried emailing a few people working in the...

Hi, I just found this great forum and I am hoping to get some advice. I am starting an ecology degree with the hope of, one day, getting into grad school. I don't know yet what type of research I would like to do but I want to keep the door to theoretical work open. As my math background is...
