<p>I'd like to major in Neuroscience or Pre-Medical studies. After college I'd like to go to med school, preferrably in Kansas. </p>
<p>Here are the colleges I'm currently looking at:</p>
<p>Pomona College - 1st choice
Stanford University
Amherst College
Oberlin College
Kenyon College
Claremont Mckenna College
Pitzer College
Bowdoin (maybe)
