What Will Professor Say??????

<p>Help! I am currently a second-semester junior who is a biology/chemistry double major. I have been planning to do a five-year program as a double major, but now I am thinking of applying to grad school for Organic Chemistry instead because I have found an Organic Chemistry grad program that has faculty doing research at the intersection between biology and organic chemistry (in a particular area I am interested in). </p>

<p>I am currently doing field research with a biology professor and will continue to do research with him this summer. While I will not have research experience with a chemistry professor, my biology professor is doing work that intersects with the kind of Orgo research I would be doing were I accepted by the grad school. </p>

<p>Problem: Will my biology professor freak out, do you think, if I decide to major in chemistry? Am I being overly-sensitive or is this something I should be concerned about? He has to write my LOR of course.
At present, he assumes I am a biology major (I am not sure he is even clear on the fact that I am a double-major).

<p>PS: On the Chem side, I have gotten A's in Orgo and my Orgo Professor loves me!</p>

<p>You’re being overly sensitive.</p>

<p>Thanks! I think part of my stress is due to the bad outlook for jobs in Chemistry and Biology in terms of being a professor.</p>

<p>Does your professor 1. pay for your tuition and 2. live in your shoes? Quit worrying about what someone else thinks and live for yourself.</p>
