<p>Hi there. I’m a junior here majoring in Psych and plan on becoming a teacher. Do what you think is best, but I saw at least a dozen premed leave the first year when they saw the difficulty of the premed courses, the grading, and what they found out was real bad admit rates to medical college for cornell undergraduates. You are still freshman - consider a transfer to a school that grades better and has more success getting their students into medical college. From what I have seen here, in my opinion, cornell is not a good place at all for premed. You won’t have a great chance applying to med school from cornell. From what I’ve heard, small liberal arts colleges and some other ivys have terrific acceptance rates to medical school. Twin brother is premed at Amherst - graduating this year. He says he never heard of anyone not getting in to a good med school here in the states from Amherst or his friends at Williams. Then again, Amherst and the other ivys grade a lot easier than cornell so that could be the reason they do so well with medical school acceptances. Think about a transfer to a school that doesn’t grade so hard. This is just my two cents and you should do what is best for you. I hope it all works out for you. Lisa D.</p>
