What colleges are underrated?

What are good colleges for someone interested in psychology?

  • I am currently a junior in high school and I am starting to consider what colleges I want to go to. I am interested in psychology and definitely want to go to a school with a pretty good psychology undergrad program. I want to go to a school on the east coast. I have about a 97.5 unweighted and if i do well on the SAT ill hopefully brake 2100. I don't plan on going to any Ivy league schools, but I was hopin someone could recommend any schools that might be underrated and are actually really good for psychology. I'm already considering Stony Brook, NYU, and University of Rochester.

  • Answer:

    I had a psych degree in college and that was prolly the one biggest mistake of my life. Unless u plan on going for your MD afterwards, a psych degree does not do you any good...at all! Sure you can get a PhD but that's just for being a research or a teacher, either way it sucks. Thank God I had a minor in Business Management and was able to get into a good grad school for my MBA so now I'm right back on track. Don't get me wrong I love psych too. But I love making money more. And i'm not willing to go through another 4 years of med school and the many other exams to get certified as a psychiatrist. With an MBA, I'll be an investment banker, a portfolio manager, a hedge fund manager, or any other type of managerial position within 2 years. And I'll be making six figures a lot sooner! Schools wise. Stony Brook is good. But it's a SUNY and I don't like public school. NYU and U of R are two great schools. Tough admissions tho. And NYU is super expensive. So I guess the bottom line is, do you want to do what you like? or do you want to make money?

Virtually every four-year, degree-granting college/university in the United States offers both courses in psychology and psychology degree granting programs. Psychology has become one of the "soft" programs that offers very little that employers specifically want to see in a job applicant. It's taken its place right alongside "history," "geography" and "_____-studies" as degrees that may interest the student but have no real (or very limited) application in the "real" world. Pick any of the schools you've listed; you'll do fine. But be aware that a "degree in psychology!" will not likely help you land a job or start a professional career. Good luck.
