confused!

<p>after being rejected from schools i wanted to go to like northwestern and u chicago, ucla, and ucb, im kind of confused and frustrated. i should be too surprised because i know ucla and ucb are out of state, and northwestern and chicago and small and highly selective, so it shouldnt change my perception of myself, i feel SO stupid for thinking i was smart or thinking i had a chance, anyways, im thinking about pre med and im choosing between ucsd honors and university of washington, anyone have any advice. also, im from california so it might be nice to be back.</p>

<p>ucsd honors is one of the best possible choices in the nation for medical studies</p>

<p>im in at thurgood marshall for human biology i think. im just wondering, would it help me to be from california when applying to california medical schools?</p>
