<p>I want to do a major in bio (with a neuroscience emphasis) & do premed, what are some liberal arts colleges that I’d have a shot at getting into with these stats?</p>
<p>U.S. News # 30 - 50 but you should try for some higher ones. Many LACs do have neuroscience, but you’ll have to check. Higher----Colgate, Hamilton, Colby. 30 - 50 it depends on the region you want and whether you want more artsy or preppy, among other things.</p>
<p>I did a search on [College</a> Admissions - SAT - University & College Search Tool](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com%5DCollege”>http://www.collegeboard.com) small-school (<2000) major neuroscience. I came up with 35 schools. </p>
<p>The ones that make sense for you to consider are
Bard
Bates
Colby
College of Wooster
Colorado College
Connecticut College
Hamilton
Kenyon
Knox
Lawrence
Macalester
Ohio Wesleyan
Ursinus
Washington and Lee
Washington College</p>
<p>It’s a mix of reaches, matches and safeties.</p>

<p>Dumb question…is there a neuroscience emphasis within biology? I thought that would be with chem or psychology. </p>
<p>Your M+CR is a 1320. </p>
<p>Do you have any regional preferences?</p>
<p>Are you only considering LACs? </p>
<p>What is your budget? How much will your parents spend each year?</p>
<p>money’s not an issue. And no, I’m not only considering LACs. I’m planning on applying to other colleges too & narrow it down from the places I get accepted to.<br>
There are certain schools that offer a neuroscience emphasis within the biology program, but I would be fine with doing a neuroscience major or psychology w/ neuroscience emphasis. I haven’t looked into the chem major with a neuroscience emphasis though.<br>
No regional preferences either.</p>
