I’m considering UCSD bioengineering:pre-med vs. Berkeley MCB now.
What do you guys make of the competitiveness of UCSD in comparison to UCB?
People says it’s hard for all UCs since they don’t give many As to lower division class students.
However, I assume that SD is not as competitve as Berkeley.
Also, i’m pretty much sure that i want to apply for medical school after undergrad.
and I have some connections at SD to do internships and research there.
Anyways, I heard that both schools are research oriented school which gives a lot of research opportunities.

I’m sooo confused now and can’t decided where to go to get into a decent medical school. I don’t care about the name-value of undergrad that much since I want to go to good medical school.

Is it hard to get 3.8 gpa at UCSD?
