What is the best college for medicine in New York City

What is the best college for medicine in New York City?
Besides Columbia :/ I'm only a freshman in high school but I've been thinking about college for years. Unfortunately, I go to a small school so I dont think an Ivy league school is in my sights. Even though I get good grades and try to be a "well-rounded" as possible lol. Anyway, any thoughts about my question? I love New York thanks!

Answer 1 :
First you need to earn a bachelor's degree. Go to the best college you can, but all reputable colleges have good pre-med programs. After Columbia, the best medical school in NYC is probably NYU.
Answer 2 :
It is Cornell Medical School, followed by Mount Sinai, NYU, Albert Einstein, Stony Brook, SUNY Downstate, and NYIT in that order (maybe a couple more DO schools lying around). And trust me, you won't have much time to enjoy the city as a med student.

Will I automatically be ruled out for Boston College and New York University if I fail an AP test

Will I automatically be ruled out for Boston College and New York University if I fail an AP test?
I think I am going to get a 2 on my Spanish AP Test. However, I did receive a flat A as a final grade in the actual class. This is my only AP so far but my school only offers about 6. I am taking two more next year as well. I am so nervous that I won't be able to get into these places because of this test score. If I do fail, should I even send in the score?

Answer 1 :
No, AP scores have no bearing on your admittance to most schools.
Answer 2 :
No, AP exams scores do not at all influence your college admittance, unless you are applying to an Ivy. So failing an exam should not explicitly rule out getting in to either of those schools. Note that many schools, while preferring that you take the AP class, because it shows that you are willing to challenge yourself, a lot of schools, especially private schools, which tend to charge a premium for tuition, would rather you take the class, do well in it, and fail the exam, to force you to still take the class and thus pay them money. Another thing you should realize is that many applicants looking at those schools have taken many more than (6) AP exams. That being said, make sure to pass any future exams (if possible) and to ensure your GPA is as high as possible, given the lack of AP's at your school.
Answer 3 :
No
Answer 4 :
No. The colleges will not even know that you have taken an AP test unless you send them a copy of the results.
Answer 5 :
No
