I'm about finish my second year of undergrad and transfer. My two school choices are University of Rochester and Cornell University. If I entered Rochester I would declare a double major in Brain and Cognitive Sciences + Psychology while enrollment at Cornell would lead me to a B.S. in Human Development w/ concentration in neuroscience. Which school/major do you ladies and gentlemen think would be best for better chances of grad school placement?
UoR has a medical school right next door with a neuropsych department and the option of doubling major is very alluring. Plus research would be very easy to come by.
Cornell is.... well, it's friggin Cornell! It would be tough to participate in research about neuropathologies, though, because they don't even have a Clinical Psych department and the medical school is 3 hours away. However, the uni is giving me more money than Rochester. Additionally, I won't exactly be a psych major.... I'd be a Human Development major. I don't know if that would be better or worse than the double major from Rochester.
Please help me in deciding. It's been stressing me out for weeks. Questions that help guide me would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
