Hi, I had a quick question. I applied and was accepted into Purdue’s neuroscience program does anyone have any feedback from it? Did they enjoy it? Was it hard? Also, in comparisons to UW (Seattle, also I would have to apply to the neuroscience major and it’s a possibility that I won’t get it so I’ll have to transfer/change majors) and UIUC (which doesn’t even have a proper neuroscience program) which one is better?
Also, I applied to UIUC under chemistry, how is the chemistry program? I want to do pre- med at the same time
Is neuroscience at UWashington competitive?
Our of the three, it’d be the university I’d prefer.
However, this is with the assumption Neuroscience is less competitive than CS.
Premed is just a set of core classes where you need to rank at the top of your class for every class: 2 semesters each of English, Calculus, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Orgo; plus one semester each of sociology, psychology, biochemistry, and a diversity-focused class. Knowing a foreign language spoken in the US is also a plus.
Biological sciences at the UW is huge. The opportunities are unlimited.
