Biochemistry at UCB or UCLA

<p>So guys I have a pretty big decision to make between UCLA and UCB. I was accepted into both for biochemistry (no regents scholarship). I don't exactly intend to go to pre-med. I want to go to Pharmacy. I'm concerned about much of a GPA killer school that UCB is and how much that would affect my chances of getting into a good pharm school. </p>

<p>Would UCB's prestige really make up for the low GPAs that are pervasive there? Would it be better to go to UCLA?</p>

<p>I'm really inclined to go to UCLA because i feel like the environment would be somewhere I would thrive and I am looking forward to have a change in environment from where i stay (bay area). My parents are pressuring me to go to UCB, however. UCLA also has a hospital so i'm sure that i can get plenty of hands on experience on top of a stellar undergraduate education, but in the end i feel like the UCLA undergrad degree doesn't have as much scope and respect compared to a UCB degree. </p>

<p>Im so torn between both schools is so difficult to decide. </p>

<p>Any feedback would be great. By the way, I am in the top 10 percent at my school.</p>
