<p>blackmamba8- on cal day, I talked to the psychobiology advisers and they told me that with the type of research I am interested in, If I was to go to Cal, I would have to go to UCSF, or other med centers within the bay area to do my undergrad research. I do not like to jump though many hoops to get my med research.</p>

<p>UCLA is convenient in that they have a medical center on campus.
UCLA is like a “one-stop shop” to do your undergraduate education and research towards med school or grad school.</p>

22

<p>you mean WHEN I get into both…</p>

<p>hahaha JK, I would pick cal!! I love the bay area, but when I get rejected from both I am going to UCD :slight_smile: I love davis and sac, it’s a good school, and they have good internship opportunities for pre-med people</p>

23

<p>Pinoiako-Yeah, I agree with your logic. That’s why I’m so excited for the decisions from UCLA.</p>

24

<p>shellbelltaylor- I live in norcal and If I get accepted to Cal only, I would still chose UC Davis over Cal. See my previous post on page one as to see why.</p>

25

<p>Plus, I’m live in SoCal so I already have that bias. :]</p>

26

<p>Blackmamba8- do you go to SMC?</p>

27

<p>ucla, no questions asked, i’m in the valley so it’s pretty close to everything for me</p>

28

<p>Cal if lucky.
If not UCSD.
Hope leaving this semesters classes as planned doesn’t bone me.</p>

29

<p>Nope, I go to LBCC.</p>

30

<p>what major did you apply for in UCLA and Cal?</p>

31

<p>History. The beauty of med school is that you can major in whatever you want as long as you complete your pre-med requirements. Trust me, I was this close majoring in bio until changing my mind. </p>

<p>Did you apply as psychobio to ucla?</p>

32

<p>blackmamba8-I applied as psychology BA for UCLA and Cal. I am having a UCLA bias right now considering that I live closer to Cal.</p>

33

<p>@pinoi, I’m a sociology major. Cal has the #1 soc department in the country.</p>

34

<p>Psychology is really interesting. My favorite thing I learned was the Zimbardo prison experiment that took place at Stanford. What a trip!</p>

35

<p>naniwa- UCLA and Cal have its strengths in certain areas. </p>

<p>For most pure science majors like bio, physics, math, engineering, political science, majors that do well on the LSAT, business- Cal is stronger. </p>

<p>For pre-med/health, psychology as a medical discipline, neuropsychology, theater, film, performing arts, music- UCLA is stronger</p>

<p>Our family friend told me this. In fact, he works at UC Berkeley.</p>

36

<p>true, in terms of prestige the differences between cal and ucla aren’t very big. In fact, I like UCLA a lot and I’ve been there a lot because my sister goes to school there. It’ll be a tough choice, but I’ll inevitably be pushed by my parents to go Cal anyway lol. </p>

<p>btw, I’m going to law school and taking the LSAT next fall.</p>

37

<p>Both the schools are so good! I would probably choose UCLA if I get into both. I live to close to Cal to want to go there. If I don’t get in, I think Im going to go to UC Davis.</p>

38

<p>Not interested in Berk, I’d choose UCLA. My second choice would probably be UNC in Chapel Hill, NC, because I have parents on both coasts, hehe.</p>

39

<p>UCLA if I get into both. I’m only an hour away from it and that is just too convenient and I have a lot going on down here.
UCI if I get rejected from UCLA. I love that school.</p>

40

<p>I don’t even know if I’d go to Berk or UCLA if I got in. Have been having some nasty chats with the bf as of late (he DOES NOT want me to go) and I honestly have no idea what would be the best option for me. I feel like I would regret my decision either way :(</p>
