Neurobiology Question

I'm a neurobiology major but AADSAS won't let me put that in as my major. What should I choose instead? Biology seems the closest but I don't know if I want to be written off as another Biology major.

Also, AADSAS won't let you put in minors will it? Just majors?

Thanks!

No minors, unfortunately, but most schools will put the minor on your transcript once you've completed it. I would make sure to wait to send in AADSAS until you have a transcript that says your minor.

As for the major, biology is probably the closest, but remember that you have your essay and little bits of your application (for example, putting something about "neurobiology seminar for my major" in the honors section or whatever.) and your interview to make sure they realize what your actual major is.

It's taken months for me to get over the fact that I had to list my major as "engineering" rather than "materials science & engineering".

So degrading.

Silly AADSAS. Don't you even try to be accomodating?

Syrah,
same here for me, so I put down biology. If you submit your transcript it should have the track stated in there. Isn't AADSAS make a copies of it so dental can access them too? I thought I read that somewhere. But if you're really want them to know your major, you can always send your official transcript to the school that you're interested in. I know some dental schools want you to send them hard copies of your transcript (UDM...) Just for thoughts....oh they don't have a spot for minor only for majors (exact words when I called aadsas few months ago)

hey you guys, i have the same trouble when filling out my major. i'm a neuroscience major, but there is not such option. So i picked "other science". Also for all my neuroscience requirement classes, i put down "other science" as oppose to "biology". what do you guys think? cheers 🙂

I wasn't aware that we could put courses in the honors section.

I more meant that if there is an honor you've received related to your major (like being invited to a special seminar or having a paper presented at one, receiving an award from a dept., etc.) it'd be a good spot to highlight your actual major.
