<p>I want to be a pediatrician and need help deciding between UCLA and UC Berkeley. UCLA is closer to home,but UC Berkeley is the school I've always wanted to go to and is ranked higher than UCLA. Please help.</p>
<p>Since this has now slipped onto the second page with no replies, I will give you the same answer that I gave somebody else in a similarly titled thread.</p>
<p>Take your time deciding. Visit both schools, talk to as many people as you can in the different departments you are interested in, and investigate housing availability and social activities. Don't rush yourself, pick what will work best for you. </p>
<p>My son took two weeks to finally decide between Berkeley and UCLA. He is very happy with the decision that he eventually made.</p>
<p>Thank you I really appreciate the advice.</p>
