<p>So i got into these two schools and im a high school senior residing in silicon valley who also wants to get into grad afterwards for med or dental.</p>
<p>I got into UCD undeclared in life sciences. i plan to major in bio or chem or something of that sort. will it be hard to get into the major after going to Davis? will it be hard to get a spot? I know for sure that Davis has a strong bio program but i don't know if that really matters in the long run.</p>
<p>Because i plan on going on to dental/med school, a lot of people have been telling me that the school you go to doesn't really matter, just the grades that you receive, that you need a 3.7 or higher to have a strong chance at getting into grad school. the school you go to might have some influence on their opinion but it is miniscule compared to the grades. is this true?</p>
<p>my relatives/parents have been telling me to pick SCU because its closer to home(but they don't really mind if i go to ucd since its only 2 hrs), the class sizes are smaller so i'll have better education and relations with the teacher, classes will be easier to get so ill finish in 4 years instead of 5+ at a UC, classes will be easier in general because scu is generally an easier/lower ranked school than davis, and ill get a higher gpa and get into dental school easily. is this true? how would you compare the difficulty level of the two.</p>
<p>they don't like UCs because of the budget cuts and you have to work really hard just to get classes, but i heard isnt really true because as long as you sign up around the time to apply, youll get it. people have also said that those with a bio major will have a priority in getting classes compared to undeclared students such as myself. is this really true? </p>
<p>plus, let's say i do go to undergrad, whether it be scu or ucd, and i decide that i dont want to go to dental or med school, which happens to a lot of people i hear, isn't a bio/chem major at davis going to help me A LOT more than one at SCU?</p>
<p>answers to any of these would be really appreciated. just trying to decide between the two.</p>
