" I was on the fence about studying Biology, and I wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting into so I took a TSEI course. The TA for my class was going into medical school and answered all my questions for what to do and how to do it. Neuroscience helped open my mind to a new focus in my study that perhaps I would want to pursue in the medical field one day. "
