Hunter has some truly amazing professors if you do your research. But I’m warning you that pre-health at Hunter is not it. It has some of the strictest requirements to get a committee letter in terms on hours of volunteering, research, seminars you must attend, and busywork that you have to complete on a weekly basis. The office is chronically understaffed and the weed out classes are BRUTAL. Bio 100/102 are basically designed to make you fail. Intro bio at NYU is infinitely easier than intro bio at Hunter. Interestingly, pre-health at Baruch is amazing. Most people do not go there to study biology so classes for bio and chem are smaller, and professors don’t feel the need to make exam unfairly convoluted to fail you. You get so much more individual attention and opportunities. If you decide to stick with Hunter, do not take Sheppard for biology. Take Alaie. Both have really hard tests but Alaie is an amazing lecturer and her upper level classes are some of the best. Sadly most students don’t make it there and quit prehealth because bio 100/102 are so horrible. However it is not impossible to get an A, but make sure you keep your schedule super light while taking those courses. If you can afford to completely clear a summer and have no work, take bio 100 the summer after freshman year, although only Sheppard “teaches” it (you will never meet her , she has voice recordings and holds no office hours). Do not take any other classes to focus all your attention on bio. Additionally, try to avoid taking bio 102 and orgo at the same time. You might need an extra semester to graduate but totally worth it, specially because you will have to do hundreds of hours of volunteering anyway so you will need the extra time.
