What makes you think it is impossible to get into U. Chicago from GSU? It’s true that GSU is not the typical feeder school for Chicago grad programs, but if you have the GRE score, GPA, and research experience, you can get in from any number of schools. GSU has a pretty strong neuroscience program, so there are potential opportunities for undergrad research, which is important if you want to go to grad school. I would suggest you email a professor whose research interests you and ask about the process of becoming an undergraduate researcher at GSU. Tech also partners with Emory and GSU through our NeuroLab and Psychology departments. I would caution you against switching schools multiple times. That will make it difficult to establish a relationship with a professor or lab long enough to have competitive research experience. You also do NOT have to major in neuroscience as an undergrad to get into top neuroscience grad programs.
