Sorry for the cross-post from the life sciences forum, but I wanted insight from both places (sorry mods!)

 

 I'd like to go into neuroscience, though most schools I'm looking at have a neuroscience program and a biopsych/behavioral neuroscience program, the latter of which is through the psychology department. I'm more interested in straight neuroscience, however my background better prepares me for the biopsych. I majored in psychology in undergrad (neuroscience concentration and biology minor; school didn't offer neuro major). I've taken one semester of general chemistry and a fair number of bio courses (evolution/genetics, microbio, cell & molecular, neurobio, molecular basis of nervous system disorders) but I lack organic chemistry, physics, and math.

 

Could I/should I apply to both types of programs at each school? Or does that look unfocused? Again, I think I have a better chance of getting in to the ones under the psych umbrella but I'd rather do neuro. Thoughts on the difference?
