Considering transfering to NYU, but I have two questions:

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm a second-year biochemistry major at Stony Brook. I'm a TA in the biology and chemistry departments, my GPA is extremely high and I am top in my bio and chem classes.</p>

<p>First, EXCLUDING ANY FINANCIAL FACTORS, how does the NYU biochemistry program compare to the Stony Brook program? In other words, which school would greater heighten my chances for getting accepted to a very good medical school (given that I do just as well at NYU)?</p>

<p>Second, with my GPA, SBU ranking, my TAing, and a recommendation from a chair from SBU as well as various other credentials, how much would my SATs (580r, 580wr, 680m) hurt my chances for acceptance as a second year transfer?</p>

<p>Stay where you are - med schools want to see very high grades and very high MCATs. Now, if you want to write tv-plays for “House” . . . maybe NYU.</p>

<p>Ha, care to elaborate?</p>
