Pretty straight forward. I am starting to apply to grad school and I was discussing possible projects with some (grad student) friends of mine. When I mentioned something in particular one of them said "that might even be too good for a Master's, sounds more like a PhD..." Then he also went on to say that I could use part of a project like that for a Master's and then use the rest to finish it off with a PhD. For some time I thought about this, then I decided to ask it here.

##So is there such a thing as a project that is too good for a Master's? And if so, should my future advisor generally know where this "boiling point" is?

Can a project be "too good" for a Master's?
