Help deciding on OOS options or stay in state and transfer

First off, you are doing way better than you think. So what if you applied to some schools that aren’t going to work in the end due to finances, location, or not getting admitted?That was us last year, for sure, but it all worked out.

Second, if medical school is a possibility, keep in mind that some medical schools won’t accept community college credits, or really look down on them. Conversely, medical schools will know that Wilmington is a solid school, and will accept any credits from them.

Third, I agree with those above who say that a lack of a neuroscience major is in no way a problem. Neuroscience as a major wasn’t even “a thing” a couple of decades ago, and yet colleges still taught neuroscience. I can promise you that there is not a single medical school or graduate school that will care whether your student graduates with a Neuroscience major vs. a Biology major with Neuro minor vs. just a plain Biology (or Psychology) major with some relevant coursework.

Really, you guys are sitting pretty.

ETA: If it were me, I would NOT go into debt or stress myself out to go to a $50K school if you have $30K options.
