Pre-Vet: UC Davis. No brainer.

Can the rankings include special programs? such as the Thomas Haider Program which seats the top 24 premed applicants from UC Riverside into UCLA's Geffen Med School. A guaranteed seat is pretty much the highest "chance at admission" you can get, after all.

Pre-med which ever school you can earn the best grades, get internships and get involved in research. It is a good idea to go where there is a medical school on campus so that these opportunities in a medical environment will be available.

well, business isn't on there but for pre-business, it would be berkeley no brainer. they're undergrad business (Hass) is 3rd in the nation after Wharton (UPenn) and Sloan (MIT).

I always thought it was NYU Stern or USC Marshall

I would assume bman14 is only talking about in the UC system. How are the internship opportunities in Berkeley for business?

GROVER · 04-03-2007, 01:24 AM

Well, considering that Frisco is a major international financial center, I'm guessing there are internships aplenty.

collegemom16 · 04-03-2007, 01:43 AM

I would concur with that, but I'm just wondering how good their internship office is.

i'm pre-vet but i didn't get into davis. i hope zoology major at SB with interships at veterinary clinics and the zoo will be enough.

I don't know what I was thinking when I posted that bman14, of course you are correct. Berkeley is the only UC except for Riverside that even has an undergrad business program.

System-AX · 04-09-2007, 10:11 PM

Any insight on Pre-Pharm among UCs?
