<p>Couple questions. First, can anybody explain to me what the deal is with liberal arts schools and science related majors? To elaborate, I'm in my sophomore year of college at the moment attending a state school (UNLV), and I've decided to take the reigns and transfer the hell out of here to major in neuroscience somewhere. Using the princeton review as my main source, i noticed that a lot of the colleges offering NS as a major were liberal arts schools(Amherst, Pomona, Vassar). To me, whenever I heard "liberal arts" I always imagined a bunch of english and philosophy majors sitting around campus getting high and discussing literature (slight exaggeration). Am I wrong here? Another thing is, after reading these boards I realized that grades are more important than school name, so I don't want to go to a school that's crazy competitive (was looking at UCSD but scratched 'em off the list after hearing some "all work/no play" stories). Basically I just want to (somewhat) relax and enjoy these years leading up to med school by finding a not overly competitive school with a nice campus/study enviroment (also don't want to pay out the nose for tuition since assuming I make it to med school that will probably be around 200k in and of itself). Northeastern was one school of interest to me, and I think I can probably get in with my current GPA (3.5). Anybody know how they rank as far as med school entrance? Also, if anybody feels like going out of their way to help me out, here's a list of all the schools offering a NS major. Feel free to recommend one.</p>
