<p>i have to make a very similar decision as you and after getting into three ivies (including brown) i kind of automatically forgot about berkeley despite getting the regents scholarship. I have lived in CA my whole life and in my opinion i feel like all the students from my school go to UCs exp. Cal. </p>
<p>I also visited UCB and really didnt like the campus and social atmosphere and I know many people who like it and dont and some that regret choosing it over a private school. If you are going into premed I would advice you to choose Brown esp. since you are going to need the smaller class size to get letters of rec. and based on what i am hearing the competition at cal is cut throat.
I also think that if financial aid isnt a problem definately choose the relaxed and happy atmosphere that brown has to offer!!!</p>
<p>i hope i helped and good luck :)</p>
