Rutgers Pharm or Cornell Bio for pre med

<p>what do you guys think is the wiser decision? If someone really wanted to do pharm, they can spend two years at cornell for premed, covering all the required classes for pharm, and then transfer over to rutgers pharm. it would be easier to than other applicants to transfer because cornell is an ivy.</p>

<p>I’m confused as to why someone would spend so much more money for two years of general classes. If there is chance of just going to Rutgers Pharm for the 6 years and that is the endgoal, why not just do it?</p>

<p>I agree with koto. For pre-med though, why would you bother with pharm? Can you rephrase the question? :P</p>

<p>not necessarily more money, because with financial aid, they would be the same price. since cornell is a harder school to get into and if someone is unsure whether to do premed or pharm, wouldn’t attending cornell be the wiser decision?</p>

<p>It’s really up to you. Rutgers Pharmacy program is one of the most competitive pharmacy programs in the country. It really sounds like you’re unsure of which major you are interested in pursuing. If that’s the case, forget about programs, and choose the school you like more overall.</p>

<p>Cornell all the way.</p>

<p>It all comes to the career path you want to pursue. Would you like to have a guaranteed spot at Pharmacy School or gamble with Medical School?</p>

<p>If you’re unsure, I feel as though cornell would most definitely be the more wiser decision. Cornell is an excellent school and even if you choose to go into pharmacy after 2-4 years at Cornell, you’ll have an excellent chance at getting into one of the 4 year programs and I feel as though it’s stronger in premed. If I were in your position, I would definitely choose Cornell. It seems like the wiser decision based on your uncertainty. Rutgers would be the better decision if you plan on sticking to the pharmacy program. You may also want to compare the tuition for both schools. Good luck with your decision!</p>

<p>the school that you will graduate with the least debt, without a doubt. </p>

<p>when you are in your residency, working 60 hrs a week making peanuts, with 400,000 dollars of debt hanging over your head, you will wish you had gone the cheaper route. </p>

<p>the medical school you go to has little bearing on your placement into most (if not all) specialties.</p>

<p>Say that !</p>
