Hello all,

I am planning to go pre-med and will be choosing a science major. I was accepted to both Binghamton & UAlbany. I am hoping to get some insight on which you think would be a better choice and why.

Here is my dilemma. UAlbany offered me a $4500 per year scholarship, which would help with my tuition. I know Bing is known as a better school in general, but I think UA is also very good and at UA I would most likely be in the honors college, which would give me better dorms, early class registration and smaller class sizes.

My goal is Med School and it looks like UA also has an assurance program with Albany Med. Both have assurance programs with SUNY Upstate, but I have been told they are impossible to get so I have discounted that for both schools.

I was accepted to Stony Brook as well, but felt like it was too much of a commuter school and was too close to home.

I am very conflicted and would hate to give up the scholarship unless it is going to Bing is going to look better when it comes to applying to Med School later. I would love to get some insight especially from someone that is familiar with one or both schools or who knows how Med schools would at this.
