Hey guys. I’m going to be transferring to Vandy as a psychology major.
I’ve never had a single psychology class, let alone know what it might be like to have a psych curriculum, so would any of you know anything about this major at Vanderbilt?

What are the course requirements? Are there any required math courses? What do you know about the teachers? The research and honors programs? How tough is it and what’s the average workload? I’m planning on doing everything I can (high GPA, LSAT, etc) to build a solid background for a top law school–that would be the direction I have in mind, in case you have no idea where to start. So would you have any suggestions for a psychology major at Vandy going into law?

I have a feeling it’s gonna be tough, since I just transferred as a music major from a tier 3 university (whose average student’s SAT scores are around the 15th to 38th percentile). I’ve suffered a whole year of boredom in that little paradise and ended up with a 3.96 GPA, so now it’s time for me to go to hell and work to death and maintain that grade for a bright and avaricious future in a good legal education and occupation.

Big change for me and an obscenely ambitious goal. I know.

Please help.
