<p>I'm a college sophomore, and certain that I want to study the brain. The works of Danielle Dennett, as well have other cognitive scientists, have inspired me that cognitive science is the field for me.... but there are complications.
I live in North Carolina, and I am almost positive that NONE of the schools in the UNC system offer a cog science major. I really dont have the money to go out of state, so I have set the long term goal of getting into graduate school for cog. science, and this is what I need advice on.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I am currently at NCSU. it has a Psychology major (not the best, but okay), philosophy (more than decent), biology with concentration in neurobiology, and a cognitive science minor. Does anyone with cognitive science graduate experiences know which major would be my best bet? Part of me wants to double major in psych/bio or psych/ philosophy with the cogscience minor, which one would be better, and would it be worth the extra time/work?</p></li>
<li><p>I have the option of transfering to UNC. it has a better psych department from what I understand but I have already transfered from another institution. would two transfers be a turn off for grad school? </p></li>
<li><p>and my last overall question: should I worry about the "reputability" of my schools departments, or is it a better investment to just out perform my peers and gain research experience. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>thanks in advanced for the replies, cheers.</p>
