<p>I would highly recommend Berkeley if you are interested in going to molecular biology research. Berkeley has an amazing faculty crowd for MCB and the department is very famous in the field. It can be competitive to find a lab position but I don’t see how it is going to be a problem for you since you seem like you have a good start (regent…etc)</p>
<p>Wow i’m in the same situation, except for Cornell, not Brown 
OP, tell me how you decide. I’m 90% for UCB right now.</p>
