Ok, before you guys jump to conclusions on why I made this no brainer topic is because competition to med school is extremely hard these days.

UCSD has a prominent bio department, but also it extremely hard to get good grades…I am pretty strong in sciences (5 ap bio, 5 ap chem, 800 sat 2 bio, 790 sat 2 chem)…But i dont know how i will do compared to the others at UCSD

By attending UCR, i know that i will get A+ in every class…

Medical schools don’t take heavy emphasis on which undergraduate college you went too…

a 4.0 from UCR will look much better than a 3.5 at UCSD when applying to med school…i know its unfair but thats just how it is…

So i am faced with a dilemna here…Should i sacrifice prestige just to boost my chances into getting into med school? Or …?? help please i need your opinions thanks
