Pre-med College Selection

College Search & Lists

<p>Hey everyone,
I really need help with picking my college. Im going to go on the pre-med track and my hopeful goal is to go to medical school. My choices are Stony Brook, Macaulay Honors at Brooklyn, NJIT, and NYIT BS/DO program. I am thinking Stony Brook is my top choice right now.

  1. Stony Brook is the cheapest and is known for its pre-med classes. Those applying to medical school have a high percentage of going to medical school. It would be 20,000 to attend. It has research opportunities and its own hospital.
  2. Macaulay at Brooklyn is a good program, free tuition, but there is no dorm or meal plan provided at the college. I visited and did not like the school at all.
  3. The NJIT biology major is another good option because it would be 25,000 to attend with scholarships and grants. Their undergraduates have a high rate of medical school acceptance rate.
  4. The NYIT BS/DO program is still an option for me because it is a guaranteed way of going to medical school if you have the MCAT and GPA requirements. However, those in the program and posts by students have said it is a bad school. The undergraduate experience is bad and has bad professors. It would be 30,000.
    Anyone who knows or attended these schools, Can you please help me decide. I am thinking Stony Brook over all the others. What do you think? Time is running out.</p>
