<p>I once saw an interview with a medical researcher who had invented some wonder-drug (I don’t remember the exact context). He discussed the importance of balancing specialized research interests with flexibility and a willingness to make the best of options that don’t dovetail exactly with one’s preconceptions.</p>
<p>This came back to me while reading this thread. Some people know exactly what they want to do with their lives before leaving high school (I know a few of them). Such individuals are usually recognizable because they already have extensive experience in that area. The OP does not fit this mold at all.</p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with looking for a school that offers a program that might be a fit - that’s actually a good way to narrow things down. But I think the OP should keep her mind a bit more open. Taking a class is not committing to study that subject for the rest of one’s life.</p>
