Emory, NYU, or URoch: Best for Pre-med?

<p>What would their ranking be in regard to the best pre-med experience? Does anyone have any first-hand experience with this? I'm scared of failing the weed-out courses. Which one would prepare its students the best for the MCATS and for Med School admissions?
I also do care about location, internships, research, and overall best college experience. </p>

<p>Some more info:</p>

<p>NYU
- Love love love the city and it's near my home
- But also scared about not having a traditional college experience
- They gave me a half tuition scholarship so not a problem
- I may go live abroad after college, so I personally think NYU is the most known internationally
- However, classes are big and the academics are very good, but not excellent. Also the advising apparently sucks</p>

<p>UROCH
- really don't want to be in Rochester, NY
- URoch ranks the lowest in terms of overall quality
- However, out of all 3, it has the best known for it's medical program
- Its premed program might be a tad superior but it's location is a huge turnoff</p>

<p>EMORY
-most prestigious of the three
-however, I don't know much about the pre-med there
-Atlanta is far away, but I'd rather go there than Rochester. Also, I'd have a more traditional college experience at emory
-Even though it's the most prestigious, is it A LOT better than NYU? Or are they regarded on the same level. </p>

<p>Please help me decide!</p>

<p>For pre-med, there is no competition here. Emory hands on. Emory is known for pre-med and undergrad b school. NYU is a good school, especially Stern for business, but pre-med it is just not at the same level as Emory.</p>

<p>But I’ve also heard that the research and internship at NYU would be far superior. Is this true? and if so, are the “hands-on” opportunities better than having better classes?</p>

<p>“But I’ve also heard that the research and internship at NYU would be far superior.” How so?
Emory is literally right next to CDC, one of the biggest research institutes in the US. In addition we have the Emory Whitehead Biomedical Research Building right on campus. Emory is one of the most well funded schools by NIH, $252 million vs NYU $168 million (med school +NYU itself). If that’s not enough for you, there are many students who work for professors in different labs. I seriously doubt NYU will provide you with better opportunity for research and pre-med in general.</p>
