<p>Hello! I'm currently trying to decide between attending BERKELEY or UVA for premed.
Everyone has been telling me that I should chose a school that is easier to get a high gpa at. The thing is, both BERKELEY and UVA are hard schools, so I duno. I got a 2120 on the SATs, have a 3.99 gpa, have taken four APS, and I'm practically president of everything! So basically, I'm a good student. But, I need help deciding between berkeley or UVA.</p>

<p>I'm more attracted to UBC however UVA has a med school. Basically, will attending a uni with a med school higher my chances of getting in after getting a BS there? </p>

<p>Would really appreciate any piece of advice* Thanks!</p>

<p>In general, OOS tuition for a public is usually not a great idea. What’s your home state?</p>

<p>I’m currently residing abroad… so I’d qualify as an OOS student for both univs!</p>

<p>Your other thread seems to suggest that you prefer UVa’s environment. Go there. (Also, Berkeley is a notorious premed grinder.)</p>
