<p>This a thread to discuss which one is better for Premed? I want a well rounded, fun college experience as well as maintain a high GPA (3.8+) because my goal is a top medical school.
which college can give me a better undergrad experience as well as offer me good research oppurtunites, voluteering, as well as good shadowing oppurtunities?</p>
<p>P.S. - UCSB, is not an option, people have been suggesting this school but i cant go because i would have to live at home if i were to go there</p>
<p>Davis : ) Unless you want to live in Socal, Irvine.</p>
<p>im leaning toward Davis because it will give me a more well rounded college experience. ive heard stories of UCI being a dead campus</p>
<p>Davis… not even close. =D</p>
<p>how hard are the classes? what percentage get A’s?</p>
<p>if you’re looking for an easy ride, i suggest you go to JC and then transfer for upper divs. 
seriously. every university is different, and i wouldn’t say any one is necessarily “easier”.</p>
<p>hard is subjective. gen chem kicked my ass, but i’m kicking ochem’s ass. so it’s really up to you, and where your personal strengths and weaknesses lie.</p>
<p>i’ve been in classes where 50% of the class got As, and it was uncurved. i’ve also been in classes where 10% of the class got As. it just… depends. i’ve also had a friend be in a class where only the top 3 people received As… and it was a 100 person class.</p>
<p>it’s really up to you. i suggest you visit each campus you’re interested in.</p>
<p>EDIT: it seems like you already SIR’ed at berkeley, so i guess it really doesn’t matter what i say. or, alternatively, the shadiness factor in this thread just went up by 10000%.</p>
