<p>Is getting a “strong” GPA (3.8+) doable at Davis? I was thinking about the big picture and how I can get to a top-tier med school (Upenn, UCSF). How do UC Davis pre-meds do in med school admissions, especially to the top tier schools?</p>
<p>yes, it is doable. and for the rest of your question that would vary depending on the person; if i recall correctly med schools don’t really care where you go to undergrad (i may be wrong)</p>
<p>I’m not at Davis yet, but as to your second question. Davis’s name is definitely strong enough not to put you at a disadvantage when applying to medical school.</p>
