@Hawkace Neuroscience

Also, I will be videotaping my admissions reactions, so I will send the youtube links for those to whoever has the most points! Good luck!

@Hawkace Not neuroscience, Pre-med, but if the college doesn’t offer a straight up pre-med major, then neuroscience.

@nushkis Thanks! Anyone else?

To everyone that said the ivies were rejects for me, is it because they are such a crapshoot for everyone, or is it really because I’m unqualified?

I think you just flat out aren’t qualified for the top ivies like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, but for the others like Cornell and upenn you might be, it’s just a toss up like it is for most.
