<p>Hello! currently i am a freshman attending a community college in Texas. I want to leave this school for the next academic year (Fall 2011) and begin my journey at a 4 year university!
Problem is, I'm having a dilemma on a few things: which school to attend, my major, and my classes. Btw, my high school grades were terrible! Thanks for the help in advance!</p>

<p>Major: Psychology on the premed track
GPA: 3.6-3.8
1st semester classes:
-English I
-History I
-Intro to Psych
-College Algebra</p>

<p>Wintermester:
-Gov. I</p>

<p>Potential Spring Sched.
-English II
-History II
-Intro to Bio
-Intro to Chem
-Statistics or Calculus
-Gov II (Online)</p>

<p>First question: I couldn't take a science my first semester so for Spring sem. i want to take Bio and Chem to stay on the premed track...is this a good idea?</p>

<p>Second question: I want to double major in Psychology and neuroscience, which top colleges can i get into if i finish out the year with a solid 3.6- 3.8 GPA minimum.
-If i picked one (either psychology or neuroscience) which would be best?</p>

<p>Third question: Would my course load for Spring be too much to handle?</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>We don’t have nearly enough information to begin suggesting schools. Type of school, geography, financial need, atmosphere of school… we don’t know what you want or need.</p>

<p>Your second semester courseload looks to be about 18 credits (assuming the sciences are lab courses and the math is 4 credits if it’s calculus); excluding the online course. 18 credits is a load that some Engineering freshman do, but it is a heavy load if I’m guessing correctly on the credits. Add 2 or 3 credits for the online course… .and I don’t think I’d recommend it; but a better person to ask would be your advisor.</p>

<p>If you want to know which major would be best (I would think that would be a personal decision), and you are asking in terms of what helps you get into Med school, I would suggest posting that question on the Pre-Med forum.</p>

<p>Oh sorry! um, location of the college doesn’t really matter but i prefer urban/suburbs. I’ve been looking into possibly some Ivy league? and other schools like A&M, Baylor, UT Austin, NYU, UCLA. </p>

<p>But thank you for the advice!</p>
