Calmom makes all good points. I will add this: if you go into the biological/biomedical sciences and expect to go on for a PhD, Barnard is an excellent undergrad institution. We consider that our daughter’s PhD (which is her first-choice and a fully funded program) is pretty much being paid for by her undergrad tuition at Barnard. We are sure she had such great options open to her at graduation BECAUSE she attended Barnard. And in her case, I am not even sure she would ever have even considered neuroscience as a major if she was not attending Barnard.

This is not to say that you cannot get a great education elsewhere. It’s just that in our 20/20 hindsight, we are blessed to know she was where she was meant to be.

I am sure you will be as well!
