<p>Hi, I applied to Virginia Tech regular decision for fall 2015. I originally intended on applying to the psychology major. However, I went to the VT Open House and saw that the neuroscience program would be established my freshman year. So, I applied to the neuroscience major in the College of Science. Is applying to a new major a good idea or should I switch it back to psychology?</p>
<p>Stats:
- Female, African American, in-state, current senior (Northern VA)
- 3.996 weighted GPA (most likely will rise after this semester)
- 1800 SAT (2400 scale) (590 math, 590 critical reading, 620 writing)</p>
<p>Course Load
- AP Lang/Comp
- AP Lit/Comp
- AP Biology
- AP Psychology
- AP Statistics
- AP US History
- AP US Government/Politics</p>
<p>Extracurriculars
- Manager of varsity field hockey
- Member of Key Club (60+ hours)
- Member of National English Honor Society
- Secretary of National French Honor Society
- Member of Peer Diversity (spread awareness against prejudice/hate in school)

<p>I also took the SAT subject tests for Literature, US History, and Molecular Biology but I haven't received my scores yet. Also, I'm applying to JMU, GMU, Penn State, Boston University, and Northeastern University. I'm applying to UVA, which is definitely my reach school. Virginia Tech is my top choice and I'm really nervous to see if I can get in! </p>
