<p>As an out-of-stater, the UCs (UCLA, UCSD- which have great nuero research by the way) are going to be tough to get into with your stats.</p>

<p>yeah that’s what i figured…what would you say about bates, NYU, and UofPittsburgh?</p>

<p>Why Bates? It’s a LAC-completely different from all the other schools you are considering. I’m not suggesting there’s anything wrong with Bates-only that it seems out of place on your list.</p>

<p>i haven’t heard much about bates either…i just heard of their neuroscience program & i just included it on the list. i don’t mind LAC’s but if the program at bates is inferior to programs like univ of pitt then i wouldn’t consider it much</p>
