Oldest son graduated as a neuroscience concentrator at brown. His safety was Pitt bc it has a leading program. He also applied EA to Michigan & uchicago. At the time, Chicago didn’t have a neuro major. You had to major in bio and then later specialize in neuro. While he loved the Chicago vibe and got accepted early, that lack of neuro major made him prefer brown, which has a leading undergrad neuro program. But Chicago just announced a neuro major beginning with the next incoming class. This should help your daughter with acceptance bc I’m sure the admissions committee will be looking for prospective neuro majors.
Other excellent neuro programs at mid-sized U’s include Johns Hopkins & Emory.
