If you’re worried abt maintaining a high GPA at Cal for better chances at med school acceptance, it might help to know that med schools most likely take into consideration the rigor of a school like Cal! I think Cal also has a better reputation for strong programs in STEM (esp chem) than UCLA. There’s also the MCAT so if you have a lower GPA it can definitely still be compensated by a high MCAT score. That being said, UCLA is right next to its med school while Cal is a bit further away from the UCSF med school so UCLA might offer more access to internships/shadowing opportunities :^)
