<p>Hoping to find a good school with a strong neuroscience program. Mid level and reach schools, please. Thank you very much.</p>

<p>Note: I will be retaking the SAT test and expect to break the 2000 line, though I am shooting for 2100. (Hopefully actually 'studying' will be useful for this process). I will also be taking the ACT.</p>

<p>Schools I have already applied for:
Baylor University
University of Minnesota: Twin Cities</p>

<p>Schools I am considering:
University of San Diego
University of San Francisco
Macalester College
University of Washington: Seattle</p>

<p>UC Davis and UC Irvine have undergrad neuroscience majors. You might have a shot there, especially if you bring up your SATs.</p>

3

<p>Rhodes College would be a match for you. I assume that LACs are on your radar since you mentioned Macalester.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, what led you to apply to Baylor? I too am applying, so I might be able to relate with you on some grounds and make better suggestions.</p>

<p>Lol. I know most of the people on admissions as well as tons of alumni because of where I live and according to them I’m super likely to be accepted, (I live like half an hour away,) and it’s a great school for what I want academically from college. Wittywonka- I’ve got to warn you- it’s not a happy place. I’m pretty sure I’ll be a little miserable if I go there (everyone’s a tad uptight, among other much more detrimental things: like the food and the buildings…) so that’s why I’m looking for other schools. I’ve been to Baylor pretty often. I spent the weekend in my friend’s dorm room there a couple weeks ago, actually. THINK before you accept. I find the place depressing.</p>
