<p>also where would be the perfect place for a premed and as my name says a future ent surgeon? people tell me stay away from la and berkeley they are cuthroat and go to ucsd. other tell me since the middle uc’s: ucsd, uci, ucd, and ucsb are all equal in the eyes of admission don’t go ucsd because it is the most rigorous of the middle uc’s. i need some advice.</p>

<p>fyi, the uci foreign language requirement is carried over from high school i believe. meaning if u took 3 years already you already fulfileld it.</p>

<p>If you have met all your GEs
I would say
UCI/D/SB - in 90%
UCSD/LA - match 75%
UCB - match 70%
USC - 80%
good scores/ECs
now just wait for those acceptances to come flying through the mail :)</p>

<p>for premed/any bio related stuff, i would suggest going to UCSD.</p>

4

<p>ucb- low reach
ucla- low reach
ucsd- high match
ucd- high match/ in
ucsb- high match/ in
uci- high match/ in
usc- high match</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>
