Plans
I have not entirely committed to a college yet, but I have been accepted at the University of Notre Dame, which was my top choice! My current plan is to attend Notre Dame for four years to major in Neuroscience and Behavior, attend Physician Assistant school for another two years, and then work as an inpatient PA.
