Hi, I’m a senior in high school and I have applied to both colleges. The main reason I applied to them was because of the NYC location and the affordability. Now all I need to do is choose which school. I like that Hunter is a few blocks away from central park (upper east side) opposed to city college which is in Harlem. But city colleges campus is breathtaking whereas hunter is just a plain old building. Both are equally far away from me so the convenience isn’t a factor. Also which has a better reputation for pre med, any opinions? Hunter or city college?
As a Senior… I would consider trying to get into the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical sciences which is at City. Its a 7 year route to MD and if you can get it, its probably the best way to go.
Once you finish your freshmen year, you can apply to the Mount Sinais flex med program. You wont have to sit the MCAT and you are guaranteed a place at their Medical school once you graduate.
Come next year, CCNY will have their own medical school. Unless the OP has increased his SAT recently (I have a 3.2 gpa and i got 1650 on the SAT), I don’t think s/he is an acceptable candidate for Sophie Davis School of Biomedical sciences program.
No my grades aren’t good enough for sophie davis. So i’m gonna have to do the traditional 4 years of undergrad and then med school. @Jamrock411 @Myopic Which do you think is better for that? Hunter or City?
