<p>I messed up with the schools I applied to. Somehow Carnegie Mellon went up my radar for cognitive sciences and recently I found out one of my main interests is in AI. Currently I am planning on attending Johns Hopkins in the Fall while double majoring in computer science and cognitive sciences if I go there. However, the B.S degree at CMU in cogsci is much more my style of what I want to learn, more math/computational based. Plus if I can, I plan on double majoring in computer science at CMU. </p>
<p>I have nothing against JHU. I just feel I am more interested in the math/theory of cogsci which pairs well with compsci. As a freshman at JHU, can I apply for Spring Transfer? And if I do, how will the financial aid/housing be? I need somewhere to live on campus, I'll also be needing decent aid. JHU is giving me 50k in grants so I'm hoping for something similar...</p>
<p>My high school stats are good, so if they are going to take my high school stats into account more than anything, I feel like I'm in good shape.
