<p>I can tell you that some neuroscience students don’t go to graduate school directly after graduation, which is completely fine, might be preferable actually. Students after graduation [in neuroscience] go to the National Institutes of Health or other well respected research laboratories. About 30% of the neuro. don’t go to grad. school directly. 90% of neuro grads. do go eventually though. (with a ~90 - 95% acceptance rate). Tell you parents to buy the book “College that Change Lives” (<a href=“http://www.ctcl.com/[/url]”>http://www.ctcl.com/</a>) Fourty schools across the nation were selected and Allegheny’s one; this book can tell you advantages to going to a smaller school rather than an “ivy league” or commericially known ones (<a href=“http://www.ctcl.com/why/myths.htm[/url]”>http://www.ctcl.com/why/myths.htm</a>).
