<p>Honestly, my record isn't outstanding. I dealt with a chronic illness the first two years of high school and ended up switching schools twice. I am now on my third school. My neurologist has offered to write a letter to schools that I'm applying to addressing the situation. I've shown a lot of improvement grade wise this year (being my junior year) and I was wondering if a testimonial of sorts would help or worsen my chances. My cumulative GPA would be arond 3.4 or 3.5 and my ACT is a 24. Math and Science were sort of low with 21 each, 24 for English, and 29 for Reading. </p>
<p>I did some searching around on the web about neuropsychology and was able to find little pertaining to it. The descriptions that I found were very different from one another, but overall it seems like something that I would be interested in. </p>
<p>I couldn't find much about schools that offer this as a major, or which schools are good for this major. Could anyone offer any useful information on it? </p>
<p>Basically I'm just looking into good neuropsychology programs, or at least a good all-around university for me. Neuropsychology is just something that struck an interest for me at the moment. I personally would like to attend a larger university. Location isn't too much of a factor, but I'd be more likely to stay in the Midwest or go more out East.</p>
<p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>
<p>Nuropshychology is something you study at the graduate level. At undergrad, breadth and fundamentals are emphasized. Psychology, biology, cognitive studies would be an appropriate major, then you can do specialized research work for an advanced degree.</p>
<p>Yeah, I sort of figured that, but it's good to know for sure. So thanks for the clarification. That being said, anyone have any ideas on a good fit college for me? I realize that I cannot be too picky because of my record, but I just want a good overall college experience. I'm a Wisconsin resident and as I said I'm looking to either stay in the Midwest or go East. I'm not too interested in the West, but I'd consider it. A lot of the schools I want like Madison and Penn St. are rather out of reach for me, which kind of blows but it happens. I was also thinking about Villanova, but I don't know.</p>
<p>Universities that I'm looking at so far are Michigan State and Marquette University. I don't really want to go to Marquette but I would if all else fails. It's the safety that I know I can for sure get into.</p>
<p>many schools offer a major in neuroscience affiliated with the psych department.
check out temple, pittsburgh, bowling green, ohio wesleyan, michigan state, george mason (va)</p>
<p>Also consider Florida State. Your qualifications might be a little on the low end, but perhaps your circumstances would enable a positive outcome.</p>

<p>While this is geared for graduate students it would give you an idea how to approach the area.</p>
<p>Hey, thanks a lot for the replies and that link. Really appreciate it. I'll definitely look into those.</p>
<p>undergraduate biopsychology programs:
Barnard
Bucknell
Chapman
William and Mary
Columbia
Cornell
Hastings
Morningside
Nebraska Wesleyan
Philadelphia U
Rider
Rochester Institute of Technology
Russell Sage
UC Santa Barbara
U Denver
U Pittsburgh Johnstown
Washington U St Louis</p>
<p>There are also numerous colleges that offer neuroscience majors.</p>
<p>Thank you for those. The not so good thing about a lot of those are that I wouldn't not be a candidate. Maybe some of them, but I just have to think logically about it. </p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
