<p>I am interested in majoring in neuroscience and would like to know how the program is at UCLA. Also are most neuroscience students looking into the medical field? </p>
<p>It’s a very tough question to answer, what’s the intent of your question.</p>
<p>Well I dont know how much it helps having a neuroscience major but I think I should’ve also stated whether or not it’d be better to take biology rather than neuroscience. And what do neuroscience students do after UG. Do most of them plan to go onto med school or are there other options for them if not accepted. Same with a student whose done biology as their major. I know one student from UCSD whose stuck after graduating and took biology but couldnt get into med school…hes jobless now…so I’m kinda worried. (Im so sorry if I’m all over the place with my questions its just that I have so much to ask!)</p>
<p>Biology major doesn’t have good job prospect for undergraduate. My niece majored in neuroscience at UCI but she got accepted to a medical school OOS.
If you don’t get into a medical school, you should apply for a master program of some thing more employable, you might not be jobless. For example, there might be a lot of health care management jobs.</p>
<p>But you don’t have to major in biology or neurology for premed. There are other major such as math, I know 2 kids with undergraduate in math that were accepted to medical school.</p>
<p>Neuroscience and biology are equally as useless for getting jobs. I was a neuroscience major. The only jobs you can get are lab jobs (still super hard to find) or be a consultant (takes any major).</p>
<p>You should only do a life science major if you want a PhD or if you want to go to a health graduate school.</p>
<p>I’m quite sure that 90% or more of students in life science majors want to do medicine/nursing/opto/dent.</p>
