Wow I'm glad I saw this thread--I'm pretty much in the exact same situation as the OP.

I'm going in with the Neuroscience concentration in mind, with a 5 in bio which I received my junior year. I originally was going to take Bio 121, but both my pre-major, and my peer-advisor recommended that I just take 101. They said that it'd help make my first semester less stressful, and that there would be no drastic penalties for staying in 101. Plus, the higher grade I receive in 101, the higher my science gpa (which I didn't know med schools look at) would be.

Anyway, as an entering student interested in neuroscience, I'm just following the schedule thing they provided on the website: Math 104, Bio 101, Spanish, and a Writing Seminar.


One question: Is it possible to study abroad with the Neuroscience concentration? My advisor sort of implied that if I wanted to go abroad, the a summer abroad would be best.
