sorry, so i guess the downstate med school i was talking about is public SUNY, my apologies.

For Tufts, the 1k Tuft Grant, 2k work study, and 3k loans is what they’re offering me for this year, and the Tufts tuition this year is about 44k…loans for me don’t count, so i’m approx. that 43k would be what I will have to pay.

My parents are giving me the choice to decide where I want to go. But, they’re highly encouraging me to attend CUNY honors, but will allow me to transfer if I don’t like it (paying for 2-3 yrs is better than paying for all 4 yrs). Transferring sounds like a probable possibility for me if I attend CUNY Honors, but I abhor the whole app process, and I don’t like the idea of starting over again. Plus, I hear stories of people transferring and being rejected of half of their earned credits =/

I think studying abroad is entirely up to the student’s choice. I think for pre-meds, heavy sciences courses will unfortunately be stuck for them all 4 yrs :[ But, I’m def. considering studying abroad in the summer either way. Studying abroad in the summer still gives you credit? i thought it was only for going abroad during the school year.
