<p>I am really interested in sciences, especially the ones that will send me to medical school. I want to be a doctor when I'm older and the sciences I will need are mainly biology and chemistry, and physics is important as well.
Any ideas? Thank you ;)</p>
<p>I believe Stony Brook is known for their sciences!</p>
<p>I second for Stony broooooooooook</p>
<p>No point in suggesting anything w/o stats and preferences? Do you prefer big school, or small school? What are your GPA/SATs?</p>
<p>He just wanted to know which was best for science though^</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, but are there any schools that are closer to the Canadian border (near Ottawa) that are good with sciences?
And I don’t have my SAT scores yet.
And I’m a she lol</p>
<p>Not a good one, no. Best SUNY schools are Binghamton & Geneseo.</p>
<p>@themandotcom: are they any good for sciences though?
that’s my main concern.</p>
<p>I guess it depends what you mean. SB & Bing (idk about geneseo) def have good science professors. If you are talking about research, then SB rakes in more research dollars for the STEMs. More research money may make it easier to get undergrad research opportunities at your school, it that’s your thing. If you’re talking about your classmates, I would argue that Binghamton will have “more qualified” students. (In quotes, b/c bing has higher admission standards, take from that what you will.)</p>
<p>Of course, it’s not all about academics. You should make sure you will like living there. Check out the campus & <strong>dorms</strong> at each school. (Starred for importance) My first year here at Bing, I had a v. crappy and old dorm. But last year and this year, I am living in a brand new room, which is DI nicer than the old ones. (They are tearing down all the old dorms to build all brand-new dorms in a $350 million project.)</p>
<p>So, make sure that you check out day-to-day life at each school - where you’ll be living, where you’ll be eating, who you’ll be socializing with.</p>
<p>Final remark: IMHO, whether SB or Bing, it won’t matter much; both are highly regarded by employers. Get good grades & get in to a great grad school.</p>
<p>Alright, thank you! :)</p>
<p>What about Buffalo which has 5x the research dollars as Bing? <a href=“http://www.suny.edu/communications/pdf/Hogan%20Report%20on%20RF.pdf[/url]”>http://www.suny.edu/communications/pdf/Hogan%20Report%20on%20RF.pdf</a></p>
<p>Obviously SB.
Would disagree that Binghamton is better than Buffalo for sciences.</p>
<p>Buffalo has numerous science majors and grad schools.</p>
<p>Buffalo has nursing program, OT,PT, engineering. Medical school…
When son was accepted into all 15 schools he applied to, we investigated engineering at UB and BU. Everything we heard about Bing was poor in engineering and math (this was from current students.) Everything we heard about Buffalo’s science programs were exceptional and there is great networking. (Nothing against Bing gang. If the question was in regard to other majors and business, Bing would be my recommendation.)</p>
<p>You may want to enter into a professional major that you can work in should you decide not to go to medical school. Always good to have a career you can fall back on. Many of the science programs at Buffalo can do that for you (rather than be a Bio major, or similar).</p>
<p>Thank you both, but does anyone know anything about Geneseo? I’m considering that at the moment :)</p>
<p>Depends on your preference for science. SUNY Plattsburgh has a great Geology and Environmental Sciences programs and the school is relatively close to Montreal.</p>
<p>Also, from personal experience I know the Physics Department at Plattsburgh to be excellent. The school has an informal relationship with RPI which has provide much research experience to Plattsburgh Physics students.</p>
<p>Well since I’m interested in neuroscience, I’m assuming I’ll be needing biology, psychology, and maybe chemistry. Any good school?</p>
<p>^ if neuroscience is your major, you will probably have a course load that looks approx. like the following:</p>
<p>2 parts Physics
2 parts Chemistry (incl. Labs)
3 parts Biology (incl. Labs)
3 parts Math – Calc + Stats
10 Parts Psych (including Labs)</p>
<p>So, that’s 10 parts STM and 10 parts Social Science (Psych). I would definitely inquire as to the strength of the Psychology Dept AND the STM at each college you’re investigating. That will always be the case with cross-Departmental majors.</p>
<p>Thank you 
I will do that</p>
