<p>This thread is very informative. My son is also interested in neuroscience, med school and research. He was awarded the Bausch & Lomb award so he visited URoch this spring (and added it to his list). Roch has a neuroscience concentration within the Bio dept (BS in Biological Sciences:Neuroscience). I believe they offer a tuition free 5th yr. I think Wesleyan does too. Wesleyan has a neuroscience major as does Brown & Columbia. Will have to see if RPI offers neuroscience since he just got that award. $ sure would help. He'd qualify for merit $ at our state schools but he wants to leave NJ.</p>
<p>I think neuro undergrad programs vary - some are science based; others are more psychology based. He's getting a ton of mail from schools that don't offer neuroscience coz he filled out the PSAT/SAT? form saying molecular bio. I'm hoping he finds a school with lots of science choices coz I imagine he may change his mind by next yr. Governor's School should expose him to more science choices so we'll see what he says at the end of the summer. </p>
<p>Heeding Andi's advice, I'd like my DS to add lots of safeties & matches so please keep the list of schools coming.</p>
