What school could i apply for to be Neurologist?

If you want to be a neurologist, here's what you've got to do:

1. Get into college.

2. Earn a bachelor's degree. This will take you about 4 years. You can major in anything you like, but there are specific classes that med schools will require you to take -- you can take them as electives if they are not required for your major.

* Some people get into a program that earns them an undergraduate degree + a medical degree from the same school, all in 6 years. But most people follow the path I am describing.

3. Get into med school.

4. Earn that degree. This will take you 4 years, too. You will learn some things in classrooms and some things by doing hands-on clinical work.

5. Get matched with a neurology residency. This is kind of like the application process you use to get into college and med school, but not quite: after spending some time trying to impress the programs you most want to attend, you will make a list of the programs you want, and each program makes a list of the applicants they want, and a central process assigns applicants to programs. The better you do in med school, the more likely you are to get one of your top choices.

6. Do the residency. This will involve working in a teaching hospital -- and unless the system is drastically reformed before you reach it, it will involve an awful lot of hours, to ensure that you have a chance to learn everything you need to learn. You will be paid, and you will not have to pay tuition.

If I were you, I would be looking at solid state colleges and universities in your state, unless a private school offers you good enough scholarship money that it wouldn't cost more than a public school. You have 8 years of tuition to pay ahead of you, and it would make sense to try to save money. You can get a good education at a state school, and that's what's really important. As for your record to date, I think most if not all of the public universities and colleges in your state would love to have you -- and you are already doing a great job of ensuring that when they read your application, they *know* you're a student they want.

Good luck with it all.

I suggest you apply for an in-state university because unless the school is a private one, out-of-state tuition can be really hard on your family. You seem to be doing really well and I would say that can get into competitive schools. What grade are you? It would have helped more if you had more AP/honor classes.

It really doesn't matter what university you apply for, as long as they provide a good pre-med program. Since you want to be a neurologist, I suggest that you major in something related to neurology. Some schools offer "neurobiology" or "neuroscience," or something around that. You can then choose whether or not to pursue a medical degree or PhD.

A neurologist is a medical doctor who did a neurology residency; you don't study neurology until after medical school, not in college. In college, you'd major in anything (from the majors that do exist) and take the premed classes. You can do that at any 4-year college or university. Your local state school would be a good option.

find a school that offers a degree in neurology. keep in mind that you will need to apply to med school or get your phd in neuro. not too many jobs available and pay sucks at first. I love neurology though!!
