Having graduated from City College (CCNY), I can give you my honest opinion...the curriculum definitely prepares you with the basics and offers/encourages higher level electives that not only look good on a transcript but also keep you on your toes as prep for the mcat. Premed office is great (advisement) and has built a positive reputation for CUNY through the # of students getting into med schools each year.
You should definitely consider City ... Good luck to you.
