<p>Hi, I am a senior in high school and was rejected to all the UC's I have applied to except UCR. So now I plan to attend UCR. My only dilemma is that I don't know if I want to stay in UCR for 4 years and try to get into the joint program they have with UCLA. Or if I should just transfer after 2 years to UCLA/UCSD then onwards to UCSF for med school. </p>
<p>Any inputs on these options?</p>
<p>have you visited UCR ? do you think you will be happy there ? why do you want UCLA in the first place, pretige ? these are all things to think about… if you’re going to be miserable at UCR, then obviously don’t go there but at the same time don’t reject UCR just because it doesn’t have the same prestige factor as UCLA.</p>
<p>I was in your shoes two years ago.</p>
<p>I only was accepted to UCR and UCM.</p>
<p>I went to CC and now i’m waiting on my LA, Cal and SD admissions :)</p>
<p>Go to CC if UCR wont satisfy you! you’ll save soooo much money!</p>
<p>UCSF med school is a crapshoot for any applicant: even 4.0, 36+ MCAT applicants from Harvard, Stanford, MIT, etc get rejected regularly. However I do know that UCLA Medical school/UC Riverside has a joint medical program that you should look into. My friend who is currently a M1 at UCLA med school right now has met some UCR graduates from that program.</p>
<p>Back to your original question though, medical schools like to see medical pre-reqs taken at 4 year universities rather than CCs so if you’re 100% set on medical school, I’d go to Riverside and ace all your pre-reqs.</p>
