Looking for schools for pre-med CA boy

I am also surprised why no one talks about UCR’s Haider program where almost 50% seats (24 of 50) are reserved for UCR students.

<p>Read the fine print. Like most UC programs, the Haider program is targeting certain types of (hooked) kids.</p>

<p>

Wouldn’t that be better than CAL or UCLA or UCSD? And also you would not have grade deflation at UCR compared to other UCs.

<p>Even in STEM classes, Cal and UCLA have higher mean GPA’s than does UCR. Yes, the competition for A’s is significantly different, but so are the curves.</p>
