Hello all,
So i got into UCD with regents and their honors program, for biomedical engineering. At UCSD i had applied for biomedical but got my alternate, chemical eng. Waitlisted at UCLA…grr.
But what do you guys think is the better choice? I would like to go to med school if possible, but also want a very stable major for jobs in case i dont (hence i chose engineering over biology). I’m a nor cal kid, and I love love San Diego (the city). I liked both campuses when I visited.
Wondering in terms of academics obviously, competition, prestige (does the regents make davis equal to ucsd?), social life, people there, etc!

Thank you
