Realistic Goals for Midwestern Senior

<p>^^^</p>

<p>you should ask that question in the Pre-med forum. That forum also deals with questions from students who want to go into medical research…or what MD/PhD…which is what you may want.</p>

<p>One thing that you may learn there is that it isn’t necessary to actually major in neuroscience as an undergrad (many schools don’t have that exact major), but many schools offer a variety of classes in Psych, bio, chem, etc that are “neuroscience”. </p>

<p>Again, please ask your parents how much they can pay each year. With the economy the way it’s been lately, many families with “good incomes” are finding that they can’t pay as much as they’d like to be able to pay each year. If your family doesn’t have college savings for you, then coming up with $15k per year for room, board, books, fees, etc, may be difficult because that’s about $1500 a month for 10 months. Many families can’t come up with that much each month after all the bills, etc, are paid. So ask them! :)</p>
