No…do you understand that there are only negatives regarding being an OOS premed at a UC??
[QUOTE=""]
There are absolutely no pros and lots of cons for an aspiring premed at ucb oos .
California ~ Unlucky State
Some numbers are rounded
SOM applicants IS app % Matriculants IS Matriculants %
UCD 7200 62% 110 99% (maybe the 1 OOS is MD/PhD)
UCI 6300 73% 104 94% (maybe the 2 OOS are MD/PhD)
UCR 5700 76% 50 100%
UCSD 7500 59% 125 75%
UCLA-G 8600 60% 151 83%
UCSF 7500 48% 165 75%
USC 8200 51% 185 77%
Stanford 7200 35% 90 35%
Med schools interview roughly 5-10% of their applicants.
MD/PhD students included in above numbers....and can be from any state since NSF pays their tuition.
UCLA Drew not included...only 24 matriculants....mission driven.
The new private SOM CA Northstate is also not included.
As you can see....Calif med schools have a problem of too many applicants,
not nearly enough seats,....and most have a strong instate preference.
@mom2collegekids why are you telling everyone not to go to UC? What’s wrong with being out of state?
@wrkhardplayhard: because the UC’s are under severe budget cuts. for 14K tuition it’s still a bargain for California students, but even for them premed is a bloodbath. Did you look at the numbers above?
Keep in mind that those applicants are those left after enormous culling at all California universities.
Spending 60K for that makes NO SENSE, especially when the OP has a great choice in Emory, which has none of the disadvantages of the UC’s for a similar cost.
Did you look at the stats I posted? if so, do you still have that question??
