Stern isn’t harder or easier than anything- or you wouldn’t know it until you tried every single class to compare to every single other class at every single other institution.
It’s very academically rigorous.
I’m in the bio program- currently taking chem 1 and cell biology (took AP bio so placed out of bio for majors)- taking chem 2 and microbio next semester. (First semester after seminary, though I’m technically a sophomore.) The bio track is very good, with generally excellent professors who are close with and helpful to the students, letting them work in their labs, answering career-related questions, etc. The premed advisors are also super helpful. I’m really happy I chose to come here.
The chem track is apparently also good, but it’s much less popular than the bio track so apparently if you want to take higher level chem (like analytical, inorganic) it can be more of a patchke to get a class together.
There are plenty of girls here who go on to med school (a LOT), dental school, different therapies, optometry school, pharmacy school, etc. They all have great support networks. (I’m currently considering my options- working toward med school but not fully sold on it yet.)
