UCI vs UCR

<p>I've been reading the forums for a long time, so I am well acquainted with stayoutofriverside and other anti-UCR members. However, the question is still bugging me on, which school is right for me. Both campuses are sort of dull, but they are my only options. In addition, I've been recommended to go to UCR by adults I have talked to and I know quite a few successful doctors, who went to UCR then to UCLA on the Thomas Haider Program. I am not the brightest student, I currently have a 4.1 weighted GPA taking AP Bio, AP Calc, AP Econ, AP Chem, English IV, Mind's Engagement with God, and Civics. So, it is somewhat difficult to choose to go to UCR just for the Haider Program. </p>

<p>This decision has been driving me insane all Spring Break. So, I could use any advice right now.</p>

<p>So, if you had to choose one of these two options as a pre-med, majoring in Biochemistry, which would it be?</p>
