<p>I wanted to know how competitive are students at Davis? Do people try to show off their academic talents? I am going to be a Biological Sciences major this far.</p>
<p>Premeds might be pretty competitive. You are, after all, competing for grades. However, for the most part I haven’t noticed anyone being overly competitive. I’ve known a couple engineering majors who looked down on other majors (or other engineering majors they didn’t deem smart enough.) But that’s a small minority of people who will be easy to avoid. I’ve never known anyone who wouldn’t help others in order to protect the curve, which is nice. I’ve heard of that happening at some of the other UCs.</p>
<p>No, we’re good people. I’m an engineer and I only look down on psychology majors (I was a psych major for a while) in a self-depreciating manner anyways. :D</p>
