<p>So I have fortunately been accepted to both UCLA (as a Biochem Major) and UC Berkeley (Bioengineering). Unfortunately, I have been oscillating between the two due to questions of whether I should choose a tradition PreMed Major as Biochem at UCLA or an engineering degree that may allow me a “plan B” if things, for what ever reason doesn’t work out with my going to medical school. My ultimate goal at the moment is to get into Medical school and become a surgeon. My favorite subjects have been in Math and Science.</p>
<p>Facts and Rumors that I have heard:</p>
<li><p>Berkeley has a very prestigious engineering school.</p></li>
<li><p>UCLA is has a prestigious Premed Program.</p></li>
<li><p>an engineering major will set me a part from the other bio sci majors applying to med school (assuming my gpa and mcat scores are competitive).</p></li>
<li><p>I do very much prefer the campus at UCLA over that of CAL, but do not mind going to berkeley, in that respect.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Feel free to ask me any question that may better help you in answering mine!</p>
