<p>I'm currently a senior at Stuyvesant High School.. graduating next month</p>

<p>I've been accepted to two programs that I'm interested in attending
NYIT - 7yr accelerated BS/DO program with NYCOM
Stevens Inst. of Tech - 7yr accelerated BS/DMD program with UMDNJ</p>

<p>As for requirements for each program.. I'm positive that I can easily meet them.. so I don't need to worry about getting taken out of program</p>

<p>NYIT - My brother goes there and a lot of friends and its close to home
Stevens - don't know anything about it except its in jersey and its not too far from the city..</p>

<p>I've heard that transferring out of Stevens is very difficult and transferring out of NYIT shouldn't be much of a problem..
heres the dilemma..</p>

<p>I don't know which degree I want.. most likely both so either school is okay with me but.. I feel I would much rather be attending NYU as a Pre-med so..</p>

<p>should I ..
A) go to NYIT for a year and try to transfer to NYU or Columbia
B) go to NYIT for DO degree and forget transferring altogether
C) go to Stevens and get the DMD degree
D) Something Else - please specify.. thanks</p>

<p>thanks everyone</p>

<p>Have you thought of deferring at either or both NYIT and Stevens, taking a gap year to do some internships, travel, or community service, and re-applying (or applying) to either Columbia or NYU? Might give you time to sort out your options and career goals, while preserving your current choices.</p>

<p>I've considered it.. but my parents are really against that..</p>

<p>I am leaning towards choice A.. going to NYIT and trying to transfer
but am still looking for some advice as to what I should do..</p>

<p>thanks again</p>
