Biology major UCD vs. UCSD

Hello guys,

it goes without saying that both of them are good schools, but does each of them have some sort of edges over the other? Specifically, I want to do genetic engineering in undergrad and prepare for med school. Which one do you think suit me better?

Thanks a lot!

Both have excellent Biology programs and both offer Medical school advising, but the location and campus “vibe” are very different. Small town/More Rural-UCD vs. Beach/City life-UCSD. Have you visited both?

Have you looked at the Biology curriculum of both and see if they offer electives in your area of interest: genetic engineering?
What suits you is a person decision and only you can make it?

Always check the course catalog! See which one of the school you like and then choose from there.

Typo: “personal decision”. I have to stop using my phone.

I did visit both campuses, but for these two, I do not have clear preference regarding the environment lol I just wanna have a better idea of general academic and resource advantage among these two. Thanks for your replies!
