<p>Dermatologists might not work long hours, but I’m pretty sure anesthesiologists are always on call.</p>

7542

<p>that and perscribing 10% benzoyl peroxide for kids with zits, sounds like great fun!!! lol</p>

7543

<p>someone convince me why i should go to ucla over uci, i mean i know all the rankings and such for ucla, but the apartments r too expensive and the la traffic is deadly, and i dont really feel like dorming. but yeah is it really that down the totem pole if i go to uci.</p>

7544

<p>most people have never even heard of UCI, everyone knows UCLA. Not why I chose, but is why some do. Go where you will be happiest. UCI is truely a great campus but my #1 pick for major is offered at UCLA, this is why I chose UCLA. That, and if you visit UCLA you will be blown away, seriously…</p>

7545

<p>why ucla over uci? </p>

<p>Sports</p>

<p>Women</p>

<p>Parties</p>

<p>“Prestige” (If ur into that)</p>

<p>If you dont care about any of the social aspects I guess it doesn’t matter, however if having a social life is important ucla > uci.</p>

7546

<p>well i have been to both campuses, and my major doesnt really matter where i go, i just need to finish my pre dental core classes which are o’chem and physics, i feel like i would only be going to ucla for its name not because i truly like it over uci.</p>

7547

<p>I heard students from mid-tier UCs and below (basically all UCs except Cal, UCLA, and UCSD) have difficult time finding a job out from college. San Fran area is dominated by Cal/Stanford alumni, L.A. area by UCLA/USC alumni, and San Diego area by UCSD/SDSU alumni. I dunno if this is true though…</p>

7548

<p>well is it true, that ucla is harder on their undergrads applying for their dental school, than kids from other schools</p>

7549

<p>brownfx,</p>

<p>Remember that there still remains a chance that you may change career goals down the line. Lots of people do, even in the last 2 years of school.</p>

7550

<p>haha i hope not for me, i have nothing to fall back on with anthropology. its dentistry or bust for me.</p>

7551

<p>at uci…there are many, many, many azn men.</p>

<p>thats whats making the decision between uci/ucla very difficult.</p>

<p>not to mention the surrounding communities, like westminster, fountain valley.</p>

7552

<p>Do you have a thing for “azn men”?</p>

7553

<p>

</p>

<p>Well…not really.</p>

<p>I know an anthro major here at IR/PS studying management. My girlfriend was anthro for a while, and is pre-med. Another buddy did anthro and went to law school. One did anthro and now is a PhD student.</p>

<p>Anthro’s pretty flexible.</p>

7554

<p>UCs wouldn’t be UCs without Asians, duh~</p>

7555

<p>i just want to be a sodding bear</p>

7556

<p>you know it dhl3, UCLA=u c lotsa asians!!! I am practically asian since all my school friends are asian, I am learning so much about the culture.</p>

7557

<p>I live in Berkeley and can verify that Berkeley is probably 60 percent asian. Possibly more. I also have a question for people. Between Berkeley and UCLA, what school has better Biology programs, and what school has the better Psychology programs? The reason i am asking is that, i heard Cal has terrible Biology.</p>

7558

<p>How can Berkeley be terrible in anything? Specific undergraduate programs usually don’t have rankings, so you look at the graduate program rankings. Cal is top 3 in both biology and psychology:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/phdhum/brief/psyrank_brief.php[/url]”>http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/phdhum/brief/psyrank_brief.php&lt;/a&gt;
<a href=“http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/phdsci/brief/bio_brief.php[/url]”>http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/phdsci/brief/bio_brief.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>In fact, out of Berkeley’s 36 graduate programs, 35 are ranked nationally in the top 10. Out of UCLA’s 36 programs, 11 are top 10.</p>

<p>If you mean terrible as in how average people won’t be able to do well due to the genius layer at the top of Cal classes, then that’s probably true.</p>

7559

<p>I am choosing UCLA over berkeley should I be admitted for Bio, when I think of Bio I think UCLA, when I think of engineering I think of UCB. That and my major once again, I prefer Physiology over Neurobiology, although I enjoy both.</p>

7560

<p>You’ll probably have an easier time, but UCLA bio isn’t ranked higher than Berkeley’s biology.</p>
