UCI vs. UCSC for biological sciences

<p>I know that UCI is a better school than UCSC in general, but I was wondering which school has the better program for biological sciences and more accessible professors? I want to go on to pharmacy school and want to know which will better prepare me.</p>

<p>One of my friends did her undergrad in Bio Sci at UCI and did very well, then went to UC San Francisco for Pharmacy school, which is #1 in the country. She not only graduated from UCSF with a Pharm.D., but also finished #1 in her class and was the only student to maintain a 4.0 GPA all four years of pharm school.</p>

<p>So I'd say that UCI prepared her just fine. Can't say anything about Santa Cruz because I don't know anyone that went there for Bio Sci.</p>
