<p>Urgent response please: </p>
<p>Greetings, </p>
<p>I have been accepted to several college as a transfer students. Over the past 3 years I have emphasized on pure sciences. My initial goal was or is to enter med school. I graduated from a community college with honors with liberal arts math and science. </p>
<p>Later I was accepted into a program at an (Ivy University anonymous) where my GPA of pure science (biology mostly) dropped to a 2.5. This was just a program at (anonymous) I was a non-matriculated student. First semester of biology I (lecture= B- and lab=B-) second semester Bio II (lecture=C and lab=C-) which I would like to repeat. I know I can perform well, actually very confident. I was distracted due to family issues when I took Bio II. Then I took 2 upper level bio (I received 2 B-) and (chemistry lecture B-). I did one year of research in neuroscience at that university (anonymous). </p>
<p>I am scared to pursue pre-med because I dont know if I am good at pure sciences or if I will make it to med-school with these grades. It was a big transition for me from a community college to the Ivys. Honestly I had lots of personal factors which were obstacles and distraction. Now I have none of those problems and have been accepted to several colleges. </p>
<p>Should I pursue applied psychology at NYU, or pre med at Binghamton?</p>
<p>Some of my favorite choices are:</p>
<p>(NYU Steinhardt)- $32000 cctop scholarship but limited majors which I am not interested in or have any previous knowledge and experience (applied psychology, public health, science education and many more), anything Steinhardt offers. No loans if i decline housing. </p>
<p>(Binghamton University SUNY)- Accepted to Harpur college in biological sciences. Good Fafsa deal, moderate amount of loans.</p>
<p>Harpur is an excellent school for Pre-Med if you are in NY, which it seems you are. Steinhardt is expensive, but an interesting place to go if you are interested in following the public health root, rather than the pre-med track. Are you ready to give up on your dream of medical school? If yes, by all means you should go to Steinhardt and you will absolutely get a fantastic education. If no, go to Binghamton. If you still find that you are struggling you can always switch to psych or something else at Binghamton, but you will not have the same luxury at Steinhardt if you decide you want to suddenly become a chemistry major. Good luck and I hope you make the right choice for you!</p>
<p>I have been to Binghamton University and I liked it. My dream is to become a physician, but I have seen too many of my friends not make it. </p>
<p>On the other hand I have NYU Steinhardt (full ride free tuition without room and board) with no loans and I can study something like applied psychology which will allow me to become a psychologist in the future. </p>
<p>What I am considering is to become a visiting students at any local college in NYC such as Hunter for $10,000 and try to fulfill my pre-med curriculum on my own. Something like post bac, I am not eligible for post-bac because I have taken too many science credits.</p>
<p>Or even at NYU where I can be a full time student and also take extra credits with a $30,000 loan and fulfill my pre-med curriculum. </p>
<p>How would a med school look at this if I fulfill my pre-med curriculum in such a manner? I will have a degree in applied psychology or public health with no loans and also have fulfilled my pre med curriculum with little to moderate amount of loan. </p>
<p>Either way at Binghamton I would end up with a loan of $20,000 and I dont know if I will make it to med-school. Whereas this path at NYU would keep both my dreams running for pre-med and whatever alternative path (psychologist)</p>
