Both schools are academically challenging so neither school would be less competitive than another. You are going to work hard at both schools for that GPA. There are good professors and bad professors at each school so it is a toss up. My older son is a 2nd year student at UCD and the only professors he had issues with were in the Chem department. Since you are Pre-med try to take Professor Enderle for General Chem… UCD also has a student body of approximately 39% Asians, so that should make you happy. UCD does have a football team and their Men’s basketball team recently won their division championship, so there seems to be more school spirit at UCD. Overall, both schools will get you to Medical School as long as take advantage of the opportunities. Visiting or revisiting each school should help your decision. Good luck and since I am an Aggie mom, I am somewhat bias.
