<p>I’m thinking of majoring in bio engineering and would like to attend UCLA or UCSD some time during my undergraduate years. Unfortunately, I just received a rejection from SD and UCLA isn’t looking to well. I have yet to hear from SB and UCI about their decisions, but from what I’ve heard, transferring between UCs will be harder to accomplish than transferring from a CC. The end game is to go to Stanford or some other highly respected research university with a great Bio engineering graduate program. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, and if this post has been previously addressed, feel free to post a link. </p>
<p>For PhD programs, your undergraduate research, recommendations, and upper division courses and grades will be the important parts of your application.</p>
<p>However, some medical schools may not like to see pre-med course work taken at CCs.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input, and I assume that by your last remark, you mean bio engineering PhD programs as well?
Also, if you wouldn’t mind taking a look at my latest post I would greatly appreciate that. </p>
