Competition?

<p>An honest answer from a current Berkeley (preferably science/pre-med) student would be appreciated:</p>

<p>I've heard from what I consider to be a reasonably reliable source that the competition at Berkeley has become ultra-vicious. I've heard that some students will often stoop to doing things like ripping pages of required reading out of library books, swapping chemicals in other people's labs, etc., in the attempt to sabotage classmates. I'm sort of considering berkeley, but it's a big decision, so could someone who goes to berkeley comment on any of this?</p>

<p>This has been asked many, many times.</p>

<p>Maybe you need to re-evaluate what you consider a "reasonably reliable source."</p>

<p>I'm an engineering student, I know several MCB majors, a few IB majors and many pre-meds, and I've only ever heard of anything like this on CC (where it comes up every few weeks)...</p>
