since the OP is an out of state resident, attending a SUNY/CUNY will cost her approximately the same amount as a second and third-tier private university like fordham, st johns, pace, hoftra etc.
to the OP:
if you have outstanding grades and loads of money to spend look at Columbia and Barnard -- and NYU which is a notch or two below them.
all other schools in the area are substantially less prestigious but depending on what your needs are can offer some good values.
In Manhattan:
Pace University has solid computer science and business programs while everything else skews average but you get to live in lower manhattan (city hall area).
-- Fordham has a campus in Manhattan but most classes and activites take place in its pristine Bronx Campus. A step up from its peers st johns and pace.
--CUNYs will cost you less in tuition but you will most likely have to secure your own housing and the academics can sometimes be iffy.
CUNY-Baruch has pretty good business program and is the largest business school in the country but is lacking in almost every other sector (located in Gramercy Park area - 23rd St)
CUNY-Hunter is pretty good overall with a solid program in social work/social services and is the only CUNY with dorms (located in Upper East Side 68th St)
CUNY-City College has a good engineering program but is average in everything else (located at 137th St Harlem)
In Queens:
CUNYs in Queens are garbage with the exception of Queens College.
-- You also have so-so St. Johns -- about a 30-40 min train ride into manhattan and they built new dorms a few years ago:
In Brooklyn:
CUNY-Brooklyn College average in all respects but has the nicest cuny campus. has a pre-med program that is tough to get into.
Long Island:
--Hofstra -- mediocre private school; much drinking
--Adelphi -- more mediocrity;
--Dowling -- more mediocrity and you can actually see your money being flushed down the toilet
--SUNY Stonybrook -- good value for your money; academics can be above average if you seek them out and work hard but also easy to fall into the party trap; 420 friendly |

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... |

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 |

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. |
