[QUOTE="DrSteve, post: 5488259, member: 590671"] I take it that your degree is in applied physics? If so, and the programs you plan to apply to are "applied" then there is perfect harmony. If not, then you simply have to make the case for why you want to transition away from "applied" into "pure", if you will. Depends on whether the post bacc it fits in within your developing narrative. Would the post bacc be furthering your research in the area you wish to pursue? Then, an unqualified "yes". If not, then why would you do it? To gain exposure to different areas of research? To broaden your skill set? Both of these would be viewed as positive reasons for doing so. For the post bacc or graduate school? Please clarify. From a social perspective? An academic perspective? Could you be more specific with this question? I don't know how to answer it as it now stands. Generally speaking, given your gender, ethnicity, choice of fields and your performance the world should be your oyster. Run with it. [/QUOTE]
