<p>I just need some pointers because I'm starting to get extremely worried. I just enrolled in Queens College, got into Macaulay Honors and I've already set my schedule up for the fall. In terms of pre-med reqs, I'm taking Bio and Calculus this semester, but I here it's better to take those at a different university instead of a community college. I honestly don't know what to do at this point.</p>
<p>Should I stick through all 4 years at Queens with a chem major? Will that really hurt my chances at med school if I keep up a great GPA and a great MCAT score? If not, what do you recommend I do? I'm so lost, and I would really like some pointers so I can fix things before it's too late. </p>
<p>Thank you tons in advance.</p>
<p>You’re not at a community college so no issue there</p>
<p>Pretty sure Queens is a 4-year, which you even stated, so no it won’t hurt your chances.</p>
<p>Ugh, I didn’t mean community, I meant city college, sorry. I’ve been reading and I’m just getting scared that I’m gonna spend 4 years at school at have it be wasted.</p>
<p>Like, I’m not even aiming at Ivy Med Schools, but others like OSU or UMich. Will I be okay at this rate, or should I change my course?</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s a problem, the only thing I’ve heard admissions reps say about the matter was in regard to community colleges. If your worry is that Queens isn’t that high ranked of a UG, then getting a high GPA and a good MCAT will more than make up for it.</p>
<p>There are many people with brilliant careers in many fields who went through City College. Don’t worry about that at all. Just work hard! Those are tough classes.</p>
<p>if you have a high GPA and MCAT you’ll be fine. If you don’t, it wouldn’t matter if you went to a higher ranked school anyway.</p>
<p>You should share your concerns with your honors advisors who have experience in getting students into Med School. You may already know that you don’t have to be a Chem major to go to med school. Most Med Schools are looking for diversity of interests as you fulfill your pre-med prerequisites.</p>
<p>Macaulay Honors also has a vibrant pre-med club as well that you should find out more about. You have a full 4-year college career ahead of you. Take it one step at a time and you will be fine.</p>

<p>^how can I convince my school to pay me to post on their behalf? I spend enough time on here as it is.</p>
