Transfer (Neuroscience)

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello :) I'm a freshman at University of Michigan (not the Ann Arbor campus) and I want to transfer because I want to major in Neuroscience, and my school does not offer the program. I have applied to Ann Arbor for Fall 2010, as I get in-state tuition- but I want to apply to other schools as well. </p>

<p>My HS stats aren't good at all- 2.7 GPA IB certificates, 1770 SAT score</p>

<p>My GPA for my first semester at UMich is 3.83, and I plan to keep that up. By the end of spring, I will have completed 36 credits. </p>

<p>I'm a member of Amnesty International, and despite my GPA I had glowing recommendations from my English teachers in high school. I'm sure my current English professor will write me a great recommendation as well, and I've written good essays. I have a knack for writing- I may even minor in it. I've also lived abroad for six years in Pakistan and the Middle East. </p>

<p>Could you guys recommend good schools in Neuroscience that I may have a shot at? I've heard JHU and Brown are amazing, but they're reaches for me. </p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>I don’t think those english teacher/professor recommendations are going to resonate for someone going into the final two years of a science-intensive program.</p>

<p>How does your science and math college transcipt look like – both in the number and depth of the courses you’ve taken, and your grades? Without this information it isn’t possible to answer your question.</p>

<p>Well, I’m applying for sophomore admission so I’ve only had one semester so far… Organismal Biology, I got an A-. I’m taking Human Anatomy & Physiology and Psychology this semester and I’m doing well in both. I’m starting math in Spring. Its not much, but I started out as an English major. I only just decided that I want to do neuroscience.</p>
