<p>Is there undergraduate program for University of California-San Francisco?</p>
<p>I want to be a doctor and I found out that UCSF has excellent research and </p>
<p>primary care program for grad school. </p>
<p>Thanks for the people who reply.</p>
<p>Wish you guys good luck! : )</p>
<p>No undergrad at UCSF. It wouldn’t matter anyway, there isn’t any connection between undergrad and grad school at most universities. That is, going to UCLA undergrad isn’t gonna make it easier to get into UCLA’s med school. Some special exceptions: BU and USC’s baccalaureate/M.D. programs.</p>
<p>no there isnt. And if you’re planning to go for the grad program, best of luck</p>
<p>so are u saying getting into UCLA is just about the same as like UCSB since undergrad school doesnt matter?</p>
<p>^exactly, which is why premeds shouldn’t even consider USNEWS rankings when applying to undergrad schools</p>
<p>yeah undergrad is futile</p>
<p>unless they want to go to an ivy med school, which is important if you want to get top residencies (which is even more important than what med school you went to)</p>
<p>K thanks.</p>
<p>I guess i have to apply for UCLA then.</p>
<p>FireEmblem: your post is correct on several levels. getting your top choice residency is obviously the most important part of your entire education. however, the medical school you go to does not have a huge impact on the residency selection process. The process if far more dependent on your board exam scores, your third/fourth year grades, letters of recommendations, and research.</p>
<p>you are also correct that going to an ivy league for undergrad increases your chances at ivy league medical schools (however it is also possible to get into these top schools from state schools). Also, there are several non-ivy league medical schools that have higher rankings than ivy league medical schools (UCSF, Duke, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Mayo, JHU,…)</p>
