I’m a sophomore and had experience with both majors before finally switching to Biology. CogSci is more psychology-heavy but also includes courses from the BBB department. Bear in mind that, in addition to the courses in the Cog. Neuro concentration, you have to take the general requirements which can be sometimes be a pain if your strengths don’t lie in Linguistics or Philosophy or, if you’re like me, in Computer Science.

Medical schools don’t really care what you major in too much, just get the grades and you’re fine.

In regards to your supplement, I would write about what you’re interested in. Cog Neuroscience majors are rarer than BBB majors here though, if that’s any notable reason for you to consider.
