If finances are a concern, take the full ride…especially at Stonybrook as they have strong pre-med/health sciences programs.

However, this needs to be prefaced with the possibility your child may wash out so you/your child also need to ask which campus may offer good alternate majors should he change his mind on pre-med or he’s effectively weeded out*.


Considering the exceedingly competitive nature of pre-med admissions…1 B+ in a core pre-med course like orgo is enough to substantially reduce your chances of gaining admission to any med school.
