<p>You have a good shot of acceptance. But, if med school is your goal, stay home and attend Clemson or USC. The competition at Cal is brutal, and you could be a star at your instate Uni.</p>

<p>btw: the UCs are mighty pricey for OOS students -- Cal is $45k/yr.</p>

<p>Don't do MCB or even MB actually (a large amount of MB courses come out of MCB). It will kill your GPA. It is the hardest bio major, excluding chem bio in CoChem. Do any other biology major (IB, Plant Bio, BioE, MEB, ES, NutriSci, MolTox, etc.).</p>
