<p>I am currently a senior in high school and i have gotten into Macaulay Honors College at the College of Staten Island. I come from a family that has low income; however, I have been accepted to SUNY: Bufallo, New Paltz, Stony Brook, Albany. I want to become a doctor (thinking about specializing in nueroscience, unsure). My main concern is that at Macaulay, after my first year i will have classes with the general population, regular students. I'm worried that my education won't be up to par with the education i would have received if i went away. In addition, i have recieved a Transfer Option from Cornell, which states if i get a 3.3 or higher my freshman year at a different college, I will get high-prioperty transfer (cornell is my dream school). I have also been waitlisted by Northeastern, but i doubt i will be able to go due to money </p>
<p>Please help me. May 1st is the deadline</p>
<p>someone help me please. </p>
<p>In addition, I will be commuting to staten Island every day because I am from a different borough</p>
<p>I am currently a junior at the Macaulay Honors College at the College of Staten Island pursuing a major in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Biochemistry. In response to your concern about being integrated with the general campus population after the first or second year it is important to note that at this point the classes you’ll be taking will be challenging, higher level courses that will focus on your major. At this level, the other students in the class tend to be very serious in terms of their education as well. As far as I’ve observed, the professors of these courses also teach at a certain level of difficulty regardless of whether it is an honors or general population class. In the end it becomes the responsibility of the student and whether or not they take their classes seriously that will determine how much they get out of the courses regardless of the other students in the class. And, finally, I’d just like to say that I find the Macaulay Honors program at CSI to be a really amazing program full of supportive and outstanding faculty. They work hard and closely with you to make sure you are on track when it comes to what you want to do where you want to be in the future. </p>
<p>Why don’t you take Macaulay for your first year, with the transfer option for Cornell?
Also, with the new dorm at CSI, don’t Macaulay scholars have free housing?
Overall, can you tell us:
(tuition+ R&B) - (grants+scholarships) = ?
What’s your/your parents’ budget?</p>
