So I currently go to NYU and will be graduating this year. I did not decide to be premed until last summer really and will graduate Spring 2010 having taken Bio I and II chem I and II, orgo I and II, calc I, and english I and II. However, will not have taken physics by the time I graduate. I am not planning on applying this year, but am curious if I should consider staying the summer here at NYU to finish physics I and II or possibly do the same at a cuny school. Would it look odd to have taken everything but physics at one institution? just curious...

I'd do it wherever is cheaper and more convenient for you.

I'm sure schools will understand that you did this as a post-bac. It's not a big deal.

Have you taken the labs with the bio, chem, and organic courses (8 hours total for each)?

 

[rhythmwar]

yes, finishing orgo w/ lab and my honors thesis this year.

I would just do whatever works best for you. (agree with army)

All of the rest of your pre-reqs were done at your home institution so a few at another isn't a big deal.

👍 But make sure the CUNY you're going to is a 4-year rather than a cc.

Because CC's are too easy, right?

I took gen chem at a CC, and everything else at a 4-year university. So far, I actually had to work harder for the CC class. He actually took the time to grade 50 students' papers, and asked for written structures and so on. No one at the 4-year university wanted to grade 400 student's papers, so everything, even physics, was Scantron. Multiple choice.

A CC doesn't make a difference, especially when the person already has a full degree, ESPECIALLY when most of the pre-reqs are done already.

i agree, all my tests at cc have been at least partially written, ALL written for math and gen chem...sick of hearing how cc is considered so "easy"

im sure they would understand, especially if you finish your current degree...and make an A in the two phys. classes😀

Right but perhaps it has to do with the fact that, inevitably, the pride of someone who graduated from an accredited 4 year institution will kick in and make CC not such a viable option. And before ppl start screaming and yelling, I am not saying that a CC class is worse than a college course, but I do believe that it comes down to preference and for someone who has graduated from a 4 yr institution, they rather go to another 4 yr institution to take the necessary courses rather than a CC.

And if that's not a good enough reason, then resting the mind knowing that you don't have to put down CC on your resume' (given you're skeptical about it) should seal the deal.
