My opinion is that if money isn’t an issue, go to a UC rather than CSULB. Try to get away from the prestige of UCLA and being part of select group at UCI. Investigate what honors/regents at UCI really means from a practical standpoint (ex. do you get priority registration for classes in colleges other than Bio Sci?) On the flip side, being a bio major at UCLA is very competitive. Are you ready to be a small fish in a big pond?
