<p>Honestly, you may just want to consider a state school, as NY has many very good options. A major pre-med program will often only make it harder for you to compete and get into a good medical school. The best way is often to just go to a college you like where you can excel and stay involved in a variety of ECs.</p>
<p>Maybe look at Binghamton. It’s the only public school in NY I know a decent bit about (being from out of the state), and I’ve heard very good things.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
