what can I do with a BA in neuroscience?

<p>I am currently getting into my junior year of college majoring in Neuroscience and I began realizing that if I don't get into a medical school, I have no clue what I would do! I love neuroscience, read research papers for fun, want to be a neurosurgeon, but despite my extracurriculars and internships my GPA is not very good and that could well be my ticket to the curb. My university only offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in neuroscience and that scares me as well. I was looking at trying to do a Petroleum Engineering minor but don't know if that would really qualify me for anything.</p>

<p>Is it hard to get into a graduate school to pursue a masters or PhD in neuroscience? I also have a lot of student loans (80k right now), would any program pay for graduate school? ANY help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!</p>

<p>Can’t do much with a BA…go for a PhD. Try looking for fellowships or schools that offer graduate stipends (many do this). That way you don’t have to worry about paying it yourself.</p>

<p>Also consider audiology. Relative of mine did his undergrad in neuroscience and is now working on his Au.D.</p>
