what about Stevens Institute of Technology? Its a techy school, so not really good for premed, but im sure they have the req'd classes for premed - and besides, most med schools like to take half of their students from majors other than biology or chemistry...

anyways, stevens is hoboken (i dont know if thats a bad thing) and they have tons of money for scholarships, and you being a girl definately helps out...

being in hoboken is a GREAT thing

it's a very underrated college town

Ok guys... lets get all this business stuff out of our heads...

Shes not rich and from my understanding, she doesnt have a 4.0 GPA.

So Columbia, Barnard, NYU and Fordham /Baruch, Pace, City and Queens are out of the question - along with the obvious ones where youre flushing your money down the toilet.


Back to the beginning...

Binghamton, Downstate, Brooklyn Coll., Stony Brook

well im sure she appreciates all the help u bois are giving her but ultimately it IS her future at stake, its her decision in the end for her future not cuz of some ulterior motive (that would just be pathetic lol) and hmm seems like some ppl have a LOT of time on their hands. wish i did. :P

actually konjin, u provide some excellent points esp. about her being out of state, see i didnt consider that. thats right costs would be about as high as some private institutions. she could go for the private ones because they DO tend to give out more scholarships and awards based on need becuase they have more private funding. I think she should read ur response carefully and take it into account.

Well she laid it out pretty well about what she wants to do and yall are rambling about schools she cant afford with grades she doesnt quite have as well as school that have NOTHING to do with the major she said she is looking into.

for the money, with all being equal if it turns out she could get more funding from the private institutions and they just happen to be better academically then she could try to go for it. stranger things have happened...and the essays/interviews she would have to include in her applications could make or break it. u never know. and these days its not just the GPA they look for, its everything combined. she could very well have a GREAT chance at many of these institutions, key is to TRY...its like applying for a job. dont discount anything -- the worst that could happen is that u'll be turned down.

nyu, columbia, and fordham premed are excellent

LMAO.. thats great

idk anything about college..

Of course, don't forget to apply for financial aid.

You'll be in debt for a while, but at least it will help you pay for tuition.

financial aid AND esp. scholarships def...private institutions have soo many resources it isnt funny. and SUNY gets cut back EVERY f0ckin year (damn u Pataki) -- less likely ull receive financial aid there -- u and ur parents can start researching now

If she wants to live in the city (or does she just wanna live in New York State??), Binghamton is obviously a bit far, guys. For Stony Brook she will have to live in the dorms there (where else is she gonna get an apt in Suffolk county??) and then drive to the city when she wants to.

Bing and Stony are not for those who are moving to the city to be IN THE CITY. I dunno, maybe she just wants to be in the general vicinity of NYC? but they seem a little out of the way to me

North Jersey is prob a much better bet but like i said idk anythin about college or what is a good pre-med school in this area.. but its only 15 mins from nyc.. how can u go wrong wit that??

And for the record, I gave a lot of thought to the colleges I applied to. However, the school I went to, I seriously applied to it for shits and giggles

i work for the financial aid office in my school, so she doesnt have to worry too much about that.

Yea, I would say: some N Jersey/Hoboken colleges (not too sure which), Brooklyn College, Queens College, Baruch (for business only)

No: Binghamton, Stony Brook, etc. <--- are middle of nowhere

actually she said she's undecided (pre med was a mere consideration) hence the broad spectrum of suggestions.

and, even if her grades are slightly subpar she might have other things going for her which might not preclude a grab at the top schools in the area.

I remember my interview for Tufts:

"If you get into UPenn, Columbia and Cornell you should go there instead of Tufts. Also, since you're not psycho, I'll put in a good word for you!"

One more thing about the premed thought.

Raversurge and another friend of mine go to Brooklyn College for premed. Maybe PM Raversurge and ask about the school in general?

i agree, she would have a hard time finding a place to live over there that is off cmampus.

Originally posted by TranceXposure hey guys...as soome of you know, i'm interested in moving up to NY. i'm just an average student from atlanta and i'd really like to have a good reason to go up there. to me, school is a good enough reason to move up to NY. i don't have loads of money pouring out of me or my parents, and i'm not a genius....so based on this, i need help recognizing nice or decent colleges/universities in new york considering they are inexpensive & in a fairly inexpensive living area. i would greatly appreciate...apps are almost due..ahhh!

How old are u?? Im guessin you are comin str8 outta HS and want to come to NYC from Hotlanta.. if that is the case forget about pre-med and study anythin to get by wit for a year or 2 til u can transfer to a better school.. by that point u may actually decide what u really wanna do with urself.. shit im 22 and i still have no clue what i am doin besides sellin jewelry and makin music..

If u would be transfering from a college already then it would be a diff story.. u prob already would have the grades to get in somewhere decent for pre-med.. i think u should just apply to the above mentioned schools in the ny area and see what happens.. then take it from there

It shouldn't be that hard to find off campus housing at any college

edit: where I went, (UPenn) nearly half of the student body lived off campus

Not when youre in the boondocks.


And what Diamond says is what Im doing right now... I suggested her go to Bklyn Coll. and get her feet wet first, and than if she wants she can transfer to a better school. But she is worried about the credits not being transferable... and Im pretty sure that credits from Brooklyn College or any of the 4 year CUNY's is transferable (for the most part) to any school in NY.
