Hi everyone, I am quite torn. I am attracted to Upitt because I got in the honors program there, they have a great neuroscience program, and UPMC on campus. I also got in Penn State Schreyers and Braddock Scholar designation, which are big benefits. However, the neuroscience at Penn State is not as established, and I’m not sure how being pre-med at the campus would be. I am really fortunate in that I would be comfortable with either option, but I just want to make the best decision for my pre-med track, research opportunities, and neuroscience interest. I would also like to be at a campus where if I develop a new interest I would easily be able to delve into it.
I guess I should also throw in that I got into BU Kilachand, which would be a good pre-med place and they have a neuroscience major. The problem is tho that it would cost 4 times as much as Penn State and Pitt, where I got almost equal amount of aid.
