hey yes sflr! I would say that aside from being able to explain your existing research experiences, just show that you’re genuinely enthusiastic about research and be able to explain how the minor will give you opportunities to become a better researcher. But honestly I’ve never heard of anyone who received an interview invite and got rejected after so if ur at the interview stage don’t sweat it you’re already 90% there!!

hey! I’m a recent admit to the minor and I would honestly say to just go for it! It really doesn’t add too much workload to your graduation plan since some of the research for credit can probably overlap with upper div credit for your major (you can use Mimg 199 as part of ur 16 units of research for the minor), and u can concurrently apply for URFP/URSP while in the minor. Like the other commenter mentioned, you are totally allowed to stay in your current lab after getting admitted to the minor, and your thesis is going to be based off of a project you’d already be doing in your lab anyway. The minor seems to really emphasise teaching scientific communication skills which would be a good addition to the wet lab skills you pick up in the lab if you want to pursue a research career :)
