<p>molliegym, I was indeed kidding. As was UCBChemEGrad.</p>

<p>UCBChemEGrad’s take on pre-med at Berkeley:

Haha. I used to attend Berkeley. I graduated in 2000. Faculty is fantastic. You are with very high caliber students so the academic competition can be too intense for some. This is especially true for pre-med…Which, come to think of it is what you’re interested in.</p>

<p>I mean, I had an organic chemistry final where some idiot pulled the fire alarm after he was done either because he aced the test and didnt want to allow others to finish, or bombed it…LOL. They actually have a policy with fire alarms during finals…at least when I was there.

<p>Ben Golub’s take on pre-med at Caltech:

Don’t go to Caltech if your goal is to be a premed unless you have a really excellent reason for doing so. Caltech is likely to make your GPA a few tenths lower than it would have been elsewhere, and while top PhD programs know this, med school admissions still seem to be run by a little pigeon that thinks a 3.8 or whatever is a magical number that means the same thing everywhere.</p>

<p>there are on average only about 10 premeds per class at Caltech (I would certainly not advise any but the very smartest premeds to consider Caltech.)
