Alright UC Berkeley disappoints 3 out of every 4 students in my opinion.
First off berkeley is a large school with professors who care more about their research than they do about teaching also pre-med competition is rediculously cutt throat because there are sooo many pre-meds. Next off most students don’t get housing 2nd year and it costs a lot to support yourself for 3 years. There is a good chance that your GPA will not be high enough and you will probably realize on your that you have no shot at med school, when in fact if you went to a lesser school you have easily gotten in. UC-berkeley is basically a large public school with in my opinion lots of cons and very little pros and their graduates are almost always unhappy with their situation. Go to UCLA you will enjoy yourself more, have fun, get a higher GPA, more interaction with professorsand will probably have a way higher chance of getting into med school. Bascially at Berkeley even in the upper level courses you never really see your professors and you will get shi*ty grades and will be very disappointed.
