You are the second poster who got accepted to UCSD, UCI and Berkeley and isn’t considering Berkeley. I’m just curious why CAL isn’t being considered.
As a poster upstream suggested, you need to pick a college with strong programs all around…not just for possible medical school acceptances. Pick a place where you will be happy to spend four years, where there are many majors from which to choose (in case you change your mind), and where you will be happy to have an undergrad degree.
Take possible medical school out of picture! There is no such thing as a college that will give you a “better chance at getting accepted to medical school in CA”.
Getting accepted to a CA medical school is a challenge for all applicants. There are simply way too many applicants for the number of medical school seats offered. IIRC, CA folks have a better chance of being accepted NOT at CA medical schools.
@WayOutWestMom what is the info on CA medical school acceptances?
