<p>how do i prove/ show to colleges that neuroscience is the major for me</p>
<p>Colleges don’t care a ton most of the time what major you want to be in (unless they are large universities divided up into separate “schools” so you need to at least have an interest in the majors offered within the subset school). The point of your college application is NOT to convince colleges that you know what your major (and your life plan based on that) is. Many, many students change their major once they get there, and colleges know that. In fact, I think a lot of colleges look more fondly in the admissions process on students who are still trying to figure it out (or at least acknowledge that they THINK they are going to major in something, but aren’t certain yet). Most colleges hope to broaden your view of the world, so a candidate who is “one track” focused in one area/pointed toward one major isn’t necessarily most attractive.</p>
<p>Now… if you do intend to tell them you want to be a neuroscience major, you would probably want a couple of activities related to that so it isn’t completely out of the blue. But honestly, how many high school seniors have great opportunities in this area? Not many… Things I can think of that you could do would be look for an online or community college course in neuroscience you could take. Or look for a summer research opportunity in the area; you could apply for NIH next summer if you are a junior, but funding has been pretty awful in recent years so those are hard to get. Maybe a professor at a local college would let you help in their research lab.</p>
<p>But I really wonder, why do you feel the need to convince them that neuroscience is “your” major?</p>
<p>Start by telling us why you are interested in neuroscience. How can someone show/prove accounting is the major for them…mainly by telling them why they want to major in accounting because very few have ever done anything in accounting.</p>
