Help weigh in: UCSD vs UCBerkeley Vs Cornell

D Narrowed down to these 3, waitlisted dartmouth.

Seeking molecular bio/bioenginbering for future as MD/PhD researcher. Cal resident. Any advice?

See that UCSD ranked very high (over the others) in molec bio specifically, but social life there is reputably “socially dead.” Want her to have a balance. UCB dorms not on campus, ?fragmented experience? Cornell is more $$ and remote travel issues…but ?worth the Ivy status?

Thanks in advance guys.
