<p>Hello!</p>
<p>Im currently at a community college in California and after about a year of consideration Ive decided to pursue a PhD in neuroscience and go into research. So here are my questions;</p>
<ol>
<li><p>How important is it that you get your bachelors degree in neuroscience? Say vs. a degree in biology? Ive been considering double majoring in biology and psychology. </p></li>
<li><p>When applying to grad schools how much weight is put on which university you got your B.S. at? Before I decided to change my goal to becoming a neuroscientist I was sure I wanted to transfer to Humboldt State University as I loved the location and the school. Now that Im aiming to get into grad schools Im having serious doubts. Should I switch gears and go for more prestigious schools? Schools with neurology departments such as UCLA, UCSC, USC, UCI, and USDC? Will going to a UC make a dramatic difference in my training and chances of getting into a good graduate program?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you for your time =)</p>
