UCI vs. University of San Diego

<p>HELP! I'm still having a hard time deciding which college to go to for pre-med (UCI or University of San Diego)
I know there are pros and cons for both schools--UCI having a notable reputation/science department and USD being private, which mean small classes and interaction with professors. In contrast, UCI is crowded with more competition and USD isn't known for its sciences.</p>

<p>I know it's up to the students grades, ec's, MCAT's, etc. that determine entrance, BUT do med schools prefer a well-known UC school or a small liberal arts school?</p>
