UC merced Premed

<p>here are my stats:
gpa: 3.4
SAT 2060 </p>

<h1>1 hs in CA</h1>

<p>should I do premed at merced instead of trying for ivys or school at that level such as UCLA or Berkley? Are there advantages to going to a less prestigious school to get a higher gpa and better letter of rec?</p>

<h1>1 HS in CA? Are you at Harvard-Westlake?</h1>

<p>bump! </p>

<p>bump! </p>

<p>I know this question has been answered elsewhere, however, I am getting a lot of different opinions, leaving me confused.</p>
