Is it likely that I will be accepted into a hydrology program for grad school?

Question

I went to an alternative college (not a bad one) and kind of beat around a lot of bushes before really finding out that I really want to pursue hydrology. Unfortunately, I really didn't major in anything (that kind of college) though I have taken a lot of cool classes (some geology, physics 1 and 2, calc 1 and 2, stats, hydrogeology, and some independent studies working on some hyrologic models). I am making a groundwater model for my senior thesis and have done some cool research over the summers. Because of a rough start to college, I probably only have a 3.5 or 3.6 cumulative GPA (If I were to have one). Should I start looking into and applying to the programs I am into or start taking the engineering classes I probably should have taken in my undergrad.

Answer 1

The only way to know for certain is to inquire about the qualifications at a few of the schools you're interested in attending.

Most schools have a placement or equivalency to figure out how the coursework you have already had fits with what you'll need in their programs. You might be accepted on a provisional basis and have to take a few undergraduate courses to make up any "deficiencies" they might think you have. But knowing what these are now could save you the time and expense of taking classes they may not think you need.

Answer 2

yes, you could be accepted into a hydrology program for grad school. i don't know where you live though, i'm judging by romanian standards... go for it.
