@Coloradomama UCSD definitely has one of the best BioChem programs in California (which is my major). I was astounded by their labs and facilities when I visited. It’s certainly an option for me, so I signed up for their Summer Program for Transfer’s. I’ll be staying in the dorms for a few days, learning about life at the school before I decide to commit.
As for the pipeline program, I think you have to be at UCR for 6 quarters; I’ll probably be a senior by then, so I may have already applied to other med schools. Thanks for the idea though, @Coloradomama and @DiotimaDM
