<p>I'm transferring to Miami University this fall as a Microbiology major. Even though I'm transferring in as a sophomore, I've only taken two science courses because I've been wanting to hold off on the higher level classes until I transfer and because of interest in other subjects while at the same time getting questionable (at best) advice from counselors at my school.</p>
<p>Anyway, I want to minor in either neuroscience or molecular biology and after looking at the course catalogs and weighing a few other options (time and $$$ being big ones), it would be "easier" to minor in one of those subjects with a BA rather than a BS. </p>
<p>I'd like to go to graduate school for immunology or something related to that and drug therapy/design (pharmacology?? I'm not totally familiar with how the graduate process works, but when I attend orientation, I have a whole host of questions to ask counselors regarding grad school). Will having a BA (or AB as it's called at Miami) hurt my chances of getting into graduate school? I already have a year of research experience and I'll continue that project in the summers and hope to get on in a lab at MU sometime in the spring. From what I've read/heard, some schools weigh that and LORs higher than GPA. Is that true?</p>
