<p>I have been reading
on this forum and
others how grad
school acceptance is
based on fit, but i
have not gotten a full understanding of
what it mean to be a
fit for a particular
program. Let me use
myself as an example
I studied Biochemistry, and
graduated with a
good result albeit that
i'm not the best
graduating student-
(CGPA 4.06 out of 5) dont know how this
compare to US GPA,
though based on
percentage, i am 81%
while the best
student was 91% moreso i am 4th in my
graduating class. I did
a Honors thesis (my
topic-Physicochemical
and antioxidant
properties of Moringa Oleifera husk and
testa). My question-
When grad school say
fit, does it mean the
school will have a
prof doing research related to my thesis
topic? Or does fit
mean a school has a
prof whose research i
am enthusiastic about
and would like to have a career in?</p>
