CSULB vs UCSD

Transfer Students UC Transfers

I was accepted CSULB back in feb. and I liked the campus and everything I recently accepted their offer and paid for the housing deposit and SOAR. I just heard back from UCSD and got accepted. I am from San Diego so i would be staying my my home town. Can i withdraw my acceptance from long beach still ?

I am a biology major i feel like UCSD is the better choice since they have medical school and i would like to apply to ucsd medical school in the future. CSULB has a good program and a minor in forensic which i would like to get if i went there.
I am a bit torn in which is the better option.

Yes you can switch. You will likely lose the deposit you have paid.

as an aside, attending UCSD for undergrad offers zero benefit in applying to thier med school. It’s a top ~20 (national) med school, with top 20 numbers (GPA+MCAT).

There are bound to be opportunities for pre-med students at UCSD’s med school, however, so you should definitely switch.
