<p>I’m a rising sophomore planning to concentrate in Neuro. The official website says 70-80% of neuro concentrators go to med school, but I’m not sure if I want to. Does anyone know what the other 20-30% eventually do (or at least what they are ABLE to do?). All I can think of is a life science PhD (or even MS bme?) or life science consulting (eventually getting MBA). Can anyone help?</p>
<p>Neuro is kinda designed as a pre-med major; it has all the pre-med requirements built-in. That’s part of why I ended up doing Cog Neuro – it’s like Neuro, but all the pre-med stuff is replaced with cog stuff. It helped, of course, that I liked cog.</p>
<p>There’s lots of stuff that you can do after graduating for which your undergrad concentration doesn’t really matter at all. A great example is law school, where I am now – in my opinion, science students make the best law students.</p>
<p>mgcsinc, why do you think science students make the best law students? and do you plan on doing IP law (patent law)?</p>
<p>Legal reasoning is (so far as I’m concerned) very closely related to scientific reasoning – more closely than to the way people think in other fields.</p>
<p>I’m working at a patent boutique this summer :-)</p>
<p>According to Focal Point: “Neuroscience concentrators have become attorneys, financial and policy analysts, software engineers, and physicians.”</p>
