UC Berkeley vs. Caltech

<p>I also agree that Caltech isn’t friendly for pre-med students. A pre-med student from Caltech would have a harder time getting into med school than a student from a school that was more “pre-med friendly.” Some other schools with more focused advising on pre-med are known for getting so many of its students into med schools. Caltech is WONDERFUL if you’re into science and math. You’ll have so many opportunities there to do research in those fields. It’s not impossible to do pre-med at Caltech (I’ve known several who have but they had a more difficult time getting into med school than friends from elsewhere) so if you work hard, you’ll be fine.</p>
