Ignore the trolls. I'd definitely go to Hunter. And I'll let you in on a secret that probably isn't a HUGE secret: biochem is actually an easy major there, relatively speaking. Hunter is incredibly well-respected, but for some strange reason, Biochem I & II are easy A courses, at least at for the time being. But there is great research there, and it's incredibly well-respected. My orgo professor (who still teaches at Georgetown) told me to apply for transfer to the Ivies, Hunter, Stony Brook, and Binghamton. Sorry to ruffle feathers...it's his opinion, not mine...but he insisted that that those were the only schools I should consider with my GPA. I got into UPenn, Cornell, Columbia, and Harvard, but I didn't get the awesome free tuition package that is only offered to incoming freshman (though they don't explicitly mention that!) so I had to choose between the rest. Like I said, Hunter would have been my top choice, but I got into the HC at SB, and they pay my tuition and most of my living expenses.
I still wish I chose Hunter. It wouldn't have been *that* expensive in the scheme of things, and the experience there is better. But I only had to spend two years here, and I'm non-trad and focused more on finishing than the college experience. Hunter will definitely offer a better experience!
