Hi! I was recent accepted into Berkeley, but I’m a little scared to pick it because I have heard so much rumors about low GPAs, hard classes, and Berkeley students being very stressed out and unhappy. I’m planning on majoring in bio to hopefully go to vet-school. I would get in-state tuition at Berkeley, and my other choice is Rice University(60k/year). Money is not that big of an issue for my family, but I’m kind of scared to pick Berkeley. If anyone goes to Berkeley or Rice or knows anyone who does, please leave me some helpful comments! Thanks!
Biology tends to have many pre-meds in it. Pre-meds face considerable pressure to earn 3.7 or so GPAs to have a chance of getting into medical school. (Check on what kind of GPA you need for veterinary school.)
