<p>Hi everyone. I am very grateful of the Uc's I got admitted to, but I have a dilemma over which one to choose. I got into LA, San Diego, Irvine, and Davis. Right now I am trying to compare the strengths and weaknesses of the biology majors at these 4 campuses, esp. LA's bio. </p>
<ul>
<li>How competitive is LA's bio major? Are there weeder classes like in Berkeley? (I heard LA and Cal are really similar in competitiveness and prestige)</li>
<li>How much difference does it make that LA has a premed program and has strong affiliations and access to its on campus Medical school/labs? Will that help my undergrad studies?</li>
<li>How is San Diego's bio major? How does it compare with LA and Irvine? I went on all the college sites but they all say "We're great, we're ranked ____ in the nation." </li>
<li>UCI gave me a really nice scholarship and honors and all that, but how good is the school? Not to offend any current/prospective UCI students, but i have heard mixed reviews saying that its looked down upon and one of the weaker UC's. I don't want to make a judgement b4 I visit there. I also heard about its medical school and small community-like atmosphere. How much of it is true/matters?</li>
</ul>
<p>thanks. I really need to clear up these confusions</p>
