UCLA vs. UCI Regents Scholarship vs. CSULB Brotman Scholarship

Medical school admission depends heavily on a high college GPA (probably at least 3.7) along with high MCAT score to make the first cut to admission reading (where essays, premed extracurriculars, etc. are considered).

Most premeds get weeded out early; of those who do apply, most get shut out. So consider choice of college and major that you would not mind graduating from if you do not go to medical school.
