Hi!

I’ve recently been admitted to UCLA as a pre-psychobiology major, UC Berkeley as a psychology major, UNC as an in-state honors student with the Accelerated Research Program, and Georgetown as a student in the College.

If I’m planning to study Psychology on a pre-med track, which of the above schools would be the best option (disregarding cost as a factor)?

Some of the factors that are most important to me include access to internship and volunteering opportunities, social life/campus culture, class sizes/building professional relationships with professors, a wide variety of clubs (entrepreneurship, music, dance), and a South Asian community.

(Note: I am currently looking into the Early Assurance Medical School program at Georgetown as well!)

Additionally, if you attend a certain school for undergrad, do you have a higher chance of getting into that school’s med school compared to other schools of the same tier?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
