<p>Berkeley is strong in biology (any good university will be, really), and probably in film -- it's great in everything, basically. I know USC is known for its film departments, and it most likely has a very good bio program.</p>
<p>USC is tops for film school...but the major is super competitive to be admitted. My cousin applied and was admitted as a film major. His grandfather was a USC film alum...the program has a lot of legacy admits, hence the joke USC = University of Special Connections. Biology at USC is good, but I'd say UCLA is stronger in bio.</p>
