It would most likely be easier to maintain a high GPA at Davis than at Cal. In terms of research opportunities, I’d say that’s overwhelmingly a function of how good you get along with your professors, and how good you are at taking the initiative.

And trust me, if you’re applying to med school, you aren’t going to get many sympathy points simply because you went to a difficult school. The mind set is, if you opt for a school that’s competitive by nature, you believe you’re up to the challenge.
