Ok, here's my issue:
I am a freshman at a regionally renowned state school in NY (SUNY Geneseo), with the ultimate goal of becoming a doc. after undergrad. I also got accepted as a transfer to Cornell, meaning that I could continue studying there as a Biological Sciences/pre-med major starting next semester.
Aside from the difference in price-tag of both schools, does the name really make a difference? Would it increase my chances of getting into med-school if I transferred to Cornell and got good grades there, as opposed to staying at the easier and less acknowledged school, Geneseo, and getting really good grades?
I would appreciate it if you could share some insight and experience on this if you have it. I need to make a decision soon and I don't know what to do
