Hi,
I have been going back and forth for a while re: taking out loans for an expensive post bacc @ NYU or Columbia (I'm located in NYC) or going the DIY approach through CUNY. After seeing that Hunter's official premed post bacc no longer exists, I thought these were my only options, but I recently ran across a new premed post bacc at CUNY that is a Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer intensive, and guarantees spots in the classes / provides a committee letter, MCAT tutoring, and all of that fun stuff.
I'm wondering if anyone here is currently enrolled, as it's in its first year (I believe). Curious as to peoples' plans on when to take the MCAT, as biochem isn't taken until the summer following the ideal time to take it. I'm assuming studying biochem on your own and taking it at the end of the spring semester is the best route. Also curious if it's a small cohort that takes all classes together, or if you take regular undergrad classes, but registration in the classes is reserved.
Also interested in any opinions re: CUNY for premed or other options in the NYC boroughs.
Thank you!!
Best,
Natasha
