<p>Any comments or input about these schools appreciated. We haven't seen any of the campuses, yet, but BC at the bottom of son's list because of the cold. Has been accepted into biochem at both UCLA and UMiami. We live in the mid-atlantic and are visiting all schools this month. Hopes to go to med school. Thanks!</p>

<p>take the money at Miami then. (Personally, I would take BC since Boston is a wonderful place to attend college.)</p>

<p>The UC’s are not worth the OOS fees. Moreover, UCLA has a lot of premed gunners. Depending on what part of the mid-Atlantic you are from, the competition for A’s can be a shock to the system.</p>

<p>Please read these sticky threads. They should help if student is thinking pre-med.</p>

<p>I would go to UCLA, especially if he is confident in his abilities.</p>
