Can going to UC Berkeley for pre-med increase my chances of getting in to UCSF Med?

<p>All things equal, it would be better to go to Berkeley. As I said many times before, GPA and MCAT are usually not the problem for getting into top med schools. The kinds of student that Penn Med or UCSF interview doesn’t have to worry whether they’ll get a 3.9 at Davis vs. a 3.6 at Berkeley. They’re students that get 3.9’s at Berkeley. </p>

<p>But, UCSF is such a tough school and your chances of getting in are so small that it’s not worth going to a college you don’t like.</p>
