I’ve taken a look at the Biomedical Research Courses offered at UCLA and it looks really interesting: http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/uclacatalog14-15-172.htm. I’ve heard Cal also offers great bio courses, so I’m divided. It seems like Cal also has awesome research opportunities too, from http://admissions.berkeley.edu/premed:
“Many Berkeley students who are admitted to medical school also have done research during their undergraduate years at Cal. The campus offers a variety of ways to get involved in undergraduate research, including the Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program. Students also may contact professors directly and ask to join their research projects. The opportunity to perform research as an undergraduate is one of the advantages of enrolling at Berkeley.”
Are both schools relatively equal in terms of pre-med style courses (Cal doesn’t offer a specific “pre-med” major)?
Thank you for your time!
