Rank the Macaulay honors CUNY colleges based on best pre-med

Consider how many students get into Med school or MD/PhD programs. How much support is given at each school and how much research/clinical experiences are provided in each colleges. Also, based on colleges that wouldn’t suffocate the students to study 24/7 and would encourage other things outside academics.

These are my top choices, please correct me:

City College of New York
Hunter College
Brooklyn College
Baruch College
Lehman College
Queens College

Honestly, your top consideration will probably be proximity. Cost of living in nyc is so high that for CUNY it makes sense to live at home, and commuting from say the Bronx to Queens college would require several trains and a bus, too long. If money were less of an issue, then a SUNY might be on the table. So choose the CUNY that is most convenient for student, that has the courses they need. Also, if the student wants med school, theyre gonna have to work very hard and get straight A grades from a CUNY, plus have research, shadowing, volunteering, clinical experience, and a high mcat score. There is no easy path.
