The only clear benefits of applying to UCSD SOM from UCSD undergrad are (1) no traveling required and (2) your letter of rec writer MIGHT know someone on the adcom. But don’t count on it. Aim higher than that.

And in addition to CC’s premed forum, studentdoctor is also a great (probably better) resource for neurotic premeds. Make sure to do your own research before running to the site and immediately posting “hi i wanna be a doctor someone tell me what i have to do!” because you will get lots of angry responses.
