Pre-Med Bio Major: UCB Spring Admit vs UCLA, UCSD Regents, UCD Regents?

College Search & Selection
1

I got accepted to Berkeley for spring semester and I really don’t know whether the Fall Program for Freshmen will be a disadvantage for me because I’m hoping to be a pre-med. The program doesn’t let me take important lab classes such as chem 1A and it doesn’t guarantee housing. Berkeley was my dream school, but now I don’t know if it’s the best option!

I got accepted to UCLA, UC San Diego with Regents, UC Davis with Regents (Muir) , and Cornell (too expensive). Which university is best???

UCSD with Regents for pre-med may be a good option, because UCSD has excellent bio-sciences, and you’ve got the Regents incentive. I would prefer Berkeley too, but it is hard to tell with those stipulations. Some of the Berkeley people here will hopefully advise as to whether it is still worth it.
