<p>I'm deciding between four schools and I need an opinion as to which school has the best Neuroscience program: Stanford University, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, University of Minnesota at Twin Cities, or Baylor University? I know i know, most people will tell me Stanford or maybe UMich in a heartbeat, but I'd prefer a school that has the best Neuroscience or Pre-med program.</p>
<p>Stanford has one of the best neuroscience programs in the country. You'll be able to do research in absolutely top-notch labs as an undergraduate.</p>
<p>Excluding prestige, I'd say Stanford, simply because it's very strong in neuroscience, much stronger than the others are.</p>
<p>in terms of ranking how would you rank them?</p>
<p>I think it'd go:</p>
<p>Stanford
Michigan
Minnesota
Baylor</p>
<p>I'm not too sure about the last two, though.</p>
<p>For biology in general, it would be something like
Stanford
Michigan/Baylor at approximately the same level
Minnesota</p>
<p>I actually heard UC San Diego has the best program for neuroscience in the nation.</p>

<p>Keep in mind the above rankings are for graduate school.. what i have heard is THat Rice also has a VERY good Neuro science program if you want to broaden your horizon..other than that Stanford is by far the best choice..</p>
