Hello all. Just a little background info...I have applied for several neuroscience, psychology, and general biology master's programs to begin this fall. My long-term goal is to aquire a PhD in clinical psych. and specialize in neuropsychology.
I have a bachelor's in Biology (Minor in Psych.) with research experience in neuropeptide hormones and behavioral studies. Would it be detrimental to my goal if I started a biology master's program, rather then a psychology-focused one? Will this hurt my chances for PhD clinical admissions? I've talked to several professors, some say I need more of a psychology background, while others say the biological side will make my application a little stronger. I'm not sure what to do considering I've received acceptances from all three sub-types of programs.
Thanks
