That is simply not true. Plus…the rigor of Cal and UCLA is the same.
This student needs to understand that acceptance in state to a CA medical school will be a challenge regardless whether they attend UCLA or CAL. CA medical schools don’t have enough seats in them for the many, many CA students who apply to the medical schools in CA. Many many CA students applying to medical school go out of state.
So…choose the college where you would like to spend the remainder of your undergraduate years. Take medical school out of the decision making process.
