^^ Take this thread with a grain of salt. Now I can’t say that Cal is the /best/ place to do premed, but people can and do get into medical school from here. Most of the people who don’t do well GPA-wise either procrastinate too much (though we all do it to some extent) or overload themselves or both, so perhaps whoever wrote that letter fits into one of those groups.

I know Cal students who have interviewed at top med schools and they said that they were among the only non-Ivy league kids at the interviews. So I think if you go to Cal and you do well, you will be at an advantage compared to students at lower UCs and state schools.
