I did look at the UCR program for medical school. We wouldn’t qualify if they are looking for first gen or URM. And I’m not sure we are that competitive in spirit to be vying for a spot. D is just not a competitive person at all. Which is why I think UCM might be more suited for her personality though I really don’t know much about the school vibes either.
Sorry this wasn’t very helpful. I’m also trying to figure out what’s the best for D and I’m thinking UC in general may not be best for her. She is fully engaged in a small setting. By visiting UCM live classes we can get an idea if it’s a typical UC.
