NYU vs Lehigh/Drexel ?

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs
1

<p>Please help me decide
I just came back from DEANS weekend at NYU. I was impressed by scholars at NYU, friendly students and NYC.</p>

<ul>
<li>NYU offered me 25 K. scholarship vs. Lehigh only 10 K.</li>
<li>NYU route will be 8 years vs. 7 years Lehigh/Drexel.</li>
<li>Both schools, I have to take MCAT</li>
<li>Lehigh/Drexel will be less stressful where as in NYU I will have to have high GPA, interviews, apply to various med schools etc etc.</li>
</ul>

<p>Can I ask Lehigh to match or increase their initial offer based on the NYU’s offer.</p>

<p>Any advice or comments?
Thanks</p>

<p>my friend had her parents write a letter to her # 1 choice, citing how much money she got from other schools, and her first choice only added another thousand or two to her package in response.</p>

No, No ... NYU offers only PREMED.
NYU use to offer combined BA/MD program (3 or 4 seats) till 2003. I don't know why they discontinued.
Sorry for the confusion</p>

<p>Leaning towards Lehigh/Drexel……. Waiting for the financial aid package to make my final decision.</p>

<p>Choose the Lehigh/Drexel path. Don't let $15,000 keep you from not making a medical school out of NYU.</p>
