For example, I managed to start a PhD in Inductive Logic Programming at a good university, when my academic record up to that point had been average, and I suspect that was mainly because I applied for research in an area where there are very few applications, namely Inductive Logic Programming: even now everyone's running the other way, towards deep learning :D
