<p>So I'm planning to apply to UCSD, UCLA, UC Davis, UC Irvine and possibly UC Berkeley. My parents want me to give Boston University a try, but I don't really want to waste the money. I want to apply as a Biochemistry or Biology major and pursue a pre-med path. I want to be a pediatrician, but I don't know if I'll be smart enough to get into medical school.</p>

<p>xiying:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
UCI/UCD: Match</p>

<p>Thanks flopsy! Hm, do you think if I work really hard from here on out, I'll still have a chance at med. school?</p>

<p>Hm, seems I can't edit my post now? =/ Bump bump.</p>
