<p>i would not choose UCSD over LA or Cal.</p>
<p>all three schools will give about the same challenge in terms of academia so don’t let that influence your decision. contrary to what you might think, SD is actually are REALLY REALLY tough school for the premed majors.</p>
<p>So basically, where you go should be based more on the campus, the housing/apartment situation, the student body (all three campuses have VERY different types of students), and surrounding city (again all three are very different).</p>
<p>btw, gut instinct is a good measure to go by.</p>
