Why?
Davis is a strong school and has a strong reputation.
It has a strong academic support system.
What do you hope will be better at a higher ranked school?
If your major is sociology, a higher ranking school won’t give you much more of an edge.
Davis has all of the internships, labs, volunteer/ work experiences, and clinical practicum hours that aren’t available at many schools, including higher ranked schools.
Our daughter attended Davis and had a great experience. She was admitted into her medical program at UCSF, which was not an easy thing to do.
