Thanks for the advices. I'm already in the college on math&science major. For now I'm not worried about the grades, I still have 4.0 GPA. I'm just curious if anyone can tell me something about pre med programs in those schools. One of my professors told me that CCNY has better labs, some other told me that a lot of people complain about science professors in Hunter. I would like somebody to confirm...
People complain about the Bio professor, Dr. Alie, but she is not here this year, and I am not sure if she is coming back. Supposedly Bio at Hunter is the "weave out" course, in the sense that it is the course that is extra hard in the pre-med curriculum as opposed to the usual orgo courses. (ie: typically one of the premed courses is made extra difficult in order to use as yet another weaving out mechanism. While most people complain about orgo at most schools, at Hunter, this is freshman Bio) But this might change since the professor left.

My best friends go to Hunter, so I am more biased toward Hunter than City College. It is an easy school, and a worthy CUNY. Shouldn't be too difficult to keep a 3.7+ GPA there. Its easily accessibly by train, and located in the UES. When I visited the school I personally hated it because I felt that the building itself is disgusting. It reminded me of a Junior High School building on steroids (larger hallways). Plus they have construction going on for god knows how many years now. That was my opinion of it however. I am sensitive to the environment and the atmosphere, and the place honestly made me feel claustrophobic. You literally step over people to get to where you have to, and everyone pushes and shoves you. This is not the experience I got from other NYC schools. I wouldn't be able to tell you much about City College though. Where ever you go, you will get a decent education, a VERY affordable one, and quality knowledge to take your MCAT. You can't go wrong with either choice. If it were me, I'd go to Hunter.
Btw, college prestige really doesn't matter. Both schools I presume output a decent amount of med students each year. So don't worry about that.
