I’ve never really heard anything about UPenn and biology. In fact, I’ve never heard much about it except Wharton.

Penn’s Biological Basis of Behavior is one of the best undergraduate neuroscience programs in the country. Just so you know. :D</p>

There are more research opportunities than there are undergraduates to fill them, so you are assured of getting one in the topic you want.

Yep. Chicago comes in fifth in the number of Goldwater Scholars produced, after Princeton, Harvard, Duke, and Kansas State. </p>

But I got accepted into other schools that have majors for what you can only take as a specialization within the Biology major.

I meant to address that in my last post. In my opinion, that’s actually the best route to go. Biology is so incredibly interdisciplinary these days that a solid grounding in all areas of the field is best, along with a concentration in your area of interest.</p>
