Hey,
I’m a HS senior just about ready to commit to SBU. I want to go into the medical field, so affordability has been a big priority to me, leading me to turn down much higher ranked universities. Though I’ve heard great things about SBU for pre-med, I didn’t get into the honors college, and I was wondering how this might impact my opportunities and/or med school admissions.
Based on my stats it seemed like I had a great chance of getting into the honors college, so I was curious about how hard it really was to get in. Also, will not being in the honors college significantly impact research opportunities? (Especially those associated with the Stony Brook Hospital)
I was also wondering if someone knew if my medical school admissions would be significantly tougher in comparison to coming out of pre-med at a top 50 school with a good program. I’m really hoping to save up so I can attend a top med school.
Thanks in advance.
