[new] Don't worry (none / 0) (#1)
by JHamblin on Sun Oct 01, 2006 at 08:04:31 PM PDT

I wouldn't worry about it. When I went to grad school, every took courses from 3 of the 5 main areas of specialty. I went in thinking I would be a logic student, but after a taking a bad logic course and a great algebra course, I switched to algebra. Unlike many disciplines, you usually won't choose your thesis advisor until the 2nd or 3rd year, so the first year is intended for you to learn more about the main areas and figure out which one is for you. Good luck!
