What's your end goal? The nyc schools are both mid, and would not help your job prospects (or for med school). MD or NJ schools sounds more appealing

End goal is to get an MDPhD degree rather than med school so doing a lot of research during undergrad, to eventually then become a Surgeon, with a PhD in research.

I have done friends doing a MDPhD, very ambitious. Your school will matter a lot, so I don't recommend Pace or NY Tech at all. If you can get into NYU, it's much better

Can you look into any of your other schools will let you do a semester exchange at a nyc school for a semester? It might be a nice compromise

Thank you I got deferred from NYU sadly but also thankfully because NYUs tuition is exorbitant. I will look into that thank you very much!
