Have u been accepted into the 3 of them? Where do you live? Which one is closest to you? Where are their clinicals?? I took some prereqs at qcc and liked it there. So that's my vote! Good luck! :)
Yes ive been accepted to all 3 colleges the closest to me is the bronx its like 25-30 mins away and queens is about an hour away which i dont mind the commute im not worried about that all that matters to me is if the college will benefit me or not. I was aiming towards queensborough but i also wanted to hear other people's opinions about it, but ill take your vote on qcc :)

I currently attend Queensborough, finishing up pre-clinicals. Though you may need a 3.0 to apply to the program, from what I understand you must have a much higher GPA than that to actually get in to it, same goes for LaGuardia. Very few seats compared to amount of applicants.
From what I hear, Queensborough is the better choice, and you have more of a chance of being hired coming from Queensborough than LaGuardia, but both programs are very competitive.
I don't know about the Bronx.
Good luck.

I know people that attended Bronx and all they do is complain about how many students have gotten kicked out since the program started. They started with 100 and go down to like 20 by graduation. My friends have both repeated courses, and from what they say it's pretty common there.
