<p>In general it is harder to get a certain GPA at Caltech than at Berkeley. If your primary goal in college is to go to a good med school, I would recommend Berkeley. After all, Caltech’s core curriculum will have you taking plenty of unnecessary (from a straight pre-med’s point of view) courses in math and physics. </p>
<p>If you care more about getting a diverse education in math, science, and engineering, Caltech might be better for you. You should visit both and make your decision based on that. Feel free to talk to the pre-med advisor here and at Berkeley.</p>
