<p>Is it worth going to an expensive Ivy League college if you have plans for medical school? </p>

<p>I'm definitely applying to Cornell but I'm not sure whether I want to do ED or Regular. I may decide to do medical school so I don't want to splurge on my undergraduate degree when I have med school left to pay for. Do you think that it would be better to go to an Ivy League or to a state school like SUNY Stony Brook where I could get some money and do lab research and then go onto a good medical school? </p>

<p>Do pre-med students at Stony Brook have good admissions stats of what amount continues on to medical school? </p>

<p>Also, if I decided to take the requirements for med school while doing an English major, would professors still be willing to have me as a lab assistant, even if I'm not a science major?</p>

<p>Thanks for any insight you can offer!</p>

<p>It all depends on your family’s situation. If money isn’t a consideration (or you feel confident you can get a scholarship), my advice is to visit schools and really think about where you will be happy. Also, you could look into state schools that have strong pre med programs. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Stonybrook has long been known as a good science school.</p>

<p>If you are in-state, why not also apply to Cornell’s Ag school, which charges less tuition that the regular part of Cornell?</p>
