<p>I'm having a really tough choice between UCR- Thomas Haider( if i get in) w/ regents
and UCSd- which is like the best UC for bio majors but really competitive</p>

<p>You want to go to medschool in a trailer?</p>

<p>is it really a trailer? That gotta be one huge trailer for 25 students, a prof, and a ton learning materials.</p>
<p>I don't think there's a lot of learning that goes on there.</p>

<p>As a matter of fact, the trailer really isn't that big. The trailer classroom is barely big enough to hold all 24 students...although it's not really 24, every year they fail a couple of people and make them repeat...and you have some failures from the year ahead who join your class...so 24, plus or minus. The adjacent room in the trailer is big enough for a couple of trailer bathrooms, a trailer TV, some trailer sinks, and some trailer couches. There are some trailer computers, but you don't want to use them because they're full of viruses and spyware.</p>

<p>Well all you heartless readers out there, I've decided to go to UofM and attend their Physiology program. I think the only one who'll understand my decision is UCRGrad. And no, we're not the same person as some of you have eluded to. I'm going to sell the trailer and stay out of Riverside.....forever.....Maybe I'll even design a t-shirt that says so.</p>
<p>I'm sure Riverside won't miss you much. Good luck at Merced.</p>
<p>Enough learning is going on in the trailer to get many of the students to UCLA medical school, and I'm sure they're okay with the situation enough to stick around.</p>
<p>Uh DRab, UofM is the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>best thread ever. :D</p>
<p>Got it. The thing is U of M probably means four different things do different people. Sorry abou the confusion. U Mich is more clear.</p>
<p>Yeah, I decided that there's no way I'd be caught dead going to that poor excuse for a school (UCR). I mean c'mon, who out there thinks it's acceptable to teach students in trailers? Have you read the Wikipedia article on UCR? With any luck they'll shut that school down instead of turning out more graduates labelled as UC rejects. It's almost sad to think people out there are striving to go to UCR instead of another school in the UC system.</p>
<p>"Uh DRab, UofM is the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor."</p>
<p>Oh, you've got to be kidding me...how utterly naive and narrow-minded to you have to be to think that UofM is referring to UC MERCED!!!!!???? I'm really not surprised that this guy goes to UCR. </p>
<p>Congratulations on your choice, btw. </p>

<p>I don't go to UCR. I was reading quickly and it was late at night. I'm sorry, I'm merely human. Is that okay with you? Go be bitter about your college years.</p>
<p>i didn't apply to ucr but my friend did and now she's stuck in this delimma between ucr and ucd. she is considering ucr because she got in with regents and that's pretty much her reason. i mean they'd pay for her tuition and everything while ucd would give her nothing. she wants to get into ucsf for med school afterward, so what do u think she should do?</p>
<p>You will probably receive a lot of financial aid since you are independent with a part time job, so choose the university that will give you more comfort and options.</p>
<p>Either school can be a stepping stone to UCSF. Check the statistics for both schools to see how past students have faired. If she would be way happier at UCD over UCR, then, even with the money consideration, she might want to pick Davis, in my opinion.</p>

<p>I saw the roster of newly admitted UCSF students a few years ago and NOT ONE student was from UC Riverside. UCR students are lucky to even get a secondary application from UCSF or any other first-tier med school</p>

<p>You base your second claim on . . . ? Most students are lucky to get into 1 medical school, by the way. But why don't you pull up the number of applications to all first year med schools from UCR with GPA and MCAT score, along with some comparison schools, say UCI and UCSC.</p>

<p>A novice (but useless) technique for making a counterargument is to demand evidence/proof that you KNOW doesn't exist, and drawing a conclusion that you are correct based on that. BTW, what on earth is a "first year med school????" And secondly,when you say "most students are lucky to get into 1 medical school," that's EXACTLY what a UCR student would say. A student who went to a DECENT undergrad school with a good GPA/MCAT, and strong letters and experience should have NO PROBLEM getting MANY interviews and MANY acceptances. ...sadly, at UCR, premeds are lucky to get into third-tier schools or D.O.'s, UNLESS they are "saved" by the Thomas/Haider Program.</p>
