<p>what good undergraduate neuroscience programs could I get into?
i live in indiana but money's not an issue</p>
<p>i want to go to med school, but if i don’t make it in what would be some job offers & salary could i get as a neuroscience grad?</p>
<p>I’m going to Macalester in the fall to study Neuroscience. In their program, you choose an emphisis of either Computer Science, Math, Philosophy, or Psychology, which could lead to a wide variety of careers. Personally, I’m planning on doing the Computer Science emphisis and pursuing a career involving Artificial Intellegence. Not all schools have programs like this, but regardless it shows the surprising versatility of a Neuroscience degree. </p>
<p>When I was looking for schools, Macalester, Case Western, and Tulane stood out to me. I had a little higher stats than you, but I limited my search to schools that would have given me a lot of money (need or merit) and weren’t too far away from my relatively large but still present comfort zone (East and West coast schools were out of the question).</p>
<p>Also, fun fact, I’m a Hoosier, too.</p>
<p>i didn’t know that they offered different areas of emphasis with a neuroscience major. artificial intelligence would be a really interesting thing to go into. do you have any idea what the pay and/or job opportunities would be for someone going into that type of field? i want to go to med school, but just in case i don’t get in i want a viable fall back option.</p>
<p>It will be a reach, but UCSD has an impressive program.</p>
<p>yeah i live out of state so the UC’s would be tough. do i have a chance at UofPitt’s program?</p>
<p>You definitely have a chance for Pitt. Also, rumor has it (who knows if it is true) that the UC schools will be taking more OOS people that are full pay because of the budget issues. Again, that could be totally false, but there has been a lot of talk about it.</p>
<p>where did you hear that? i’ll definitely apply the the UC’s though. they seem to have really good neuroscience programs…especially in research</p>
<p>Did somebody remove the shift key from your keyboard? Punctuation should be your friend.</p>
