Hmmm, I’m a junior and I’m planning to appy to grad school right after college. But this thread has gotten me thinking.

In all honesty, it does seem like a really good idea to take a year or two off before going to grad school. My question is though: You’ve been talking about the “real world” of research. How can I get into this world with a bachelor’s degree? Are there companies out there who would take undergraduates?

Btw I am an international student, so I don’t know if that makes a difference. But I’m definitely interested in hearing more about what I can do after getting a bachelor’s degree to prepare for grad school.
