I would take Honors at Albany rather than Binghamton. Bing is great for business and engineering, not so much for pre-med and when you are applying to med schools, Bing is not going to look much better than Albany. I can tell you one thing about Bing-the chemistry classes for pre-med are brutal and there is absolutely no curve which in most cases, helps students. My son just finished his first semester there and got a C. He is smart, worked hard, did not party at all, did all the work, but there is just so much material and despite huge class size, the professor stuck to his word and did not curve, the only thing he did was drop the lowest of the 3 exams, the two lowest labs and 1 lowest discussion to sort of boost the grade a bit. In a meanwhile, he could have gone to an easier school where there is curve and probably gotten like B+.
