This is an obnoxious chances thread. Sorry in advance.

Hey!
I'm a prospective neuroscience major. Anyone majoring in neuro who would like to give some perspective on what it's like? I haven't had a chance to visit yet but will do so in August or very early September.

Hm, so.... about me.

Rising Senior
State: Delaware
I'm technically a URM (black) but also "international".

SAT I: 720 CR/710 M/700 W
SAT II: 770 Bio/760 US History/660 Math I(retaking that one for other colleges)

GPA: 4.0 UW
Rank: 2 or 3/232
APs (these are the only ones my school offers + AP Stat and AP Physics): Junior: Bio, US History
Senior: Euro History, Chem, Calc AB, Lit & Comp
All honors besides this.

ECs:
Briefly, band since 6th grade - I've seated well in county band and in the band at school. I'm also band secretary and most likely a section leader next year.
Theater- I'm pretty active in drama. Minor leads and background characters, for the most part, because seniority plays a big role in my school. Next year I should be getting better roles.
Other stuff: Honor Society officer, Science Olympiad, Science Fair all four years of high school, Choir briefly, volunteer hours (although I'm not sure how much... I'll have at least 100 by the end of senior year), other assorted things.

Awards:
State writing contest -- 3rd place, various 'Best in Subject' awards for my grade at school, Science Fair and Science Olympiad awards, AAUW women in math and science award-- one girl from each high school in DE, and other little things here or there.

I need a relatively minor amount of aid, so keep that in mind.


What do you think my chances are? Thanks for any input.

I'm not exactly sure how admission or aid differs for international students, but otherwise almost definitely in.
