*I want to study pre-med and I will most likely transfer after first or second year. I NEED TO GET OUT OF CALIFORNIA. and I hated both UCLA and UCB. I haven’t visited UCD but everyone tells me I’ll fit right into UCD for some reason. I’m not sure why.

Go to UC Davis , but first contact them and ask about FA for the following 3 years…

You already know that you don’t like UCLA and UCB. Do you know why???

Do not consider transferring. Transfer students rarely get good financial aid, and if you want to be pre-med, then you need to minimize undergrad debt. It is VERY DOUBTFUL that you would get any decent aid package as a transfer to an OOS student.

UC Davis is VERY DIFFERENT from southern California…so this “need” to “get out of California” will essentially be doing so by going to Davis. Since Calif is such a big state, simply going to another region of Calif is the “same” as leaving the state.

Please post your question in the Pre-med section. There are people there who know a lot about pre-med and other related issues for you.
