Why choose UC-Berkeley over UCLA or Vanderbilt?

<p>I don’t know about clinical psych specifically, Pinoiako. Sounds like a health science to a layman, but both uni’s have great web sites with lots of details. Check out UCLA’s med school and UCSF sites as well. Tons of info there.</p>

<p>ConcernedDad101, my point still stands. As close as it is, UCSF is still not part of berkeley. Also the g-index difference between UCSF and UCLA is extremely negligible: UCLA(339) vs UCSF (341) compared to UCB (173)</p>

<p>UCLA also does slightly better than UCB in Life, Biological and Agricultural Sciences: cp UCLA (9) vs UCB (25). while UCSD (5) and UCSF (6) both do better than UCLA, it isn’t by much. Also UCLA (6) does much better than UCSD (21) vs UCSF (87) in pure natural sciences and mathematics; Also in Arts, Human, and Bus: cp UCLA (10) UCSD (50) vs UCSF (50)</p>

<p>i made this convenient table in excel if anyone wants to take a look at the 4 UCs including SF:</p>

<p>overall i think UCB is a great school, and i never meant to imply that students would get a huge advantage at UCLA than they would at Cal, i just said that UCLA has more faculty citations which would seem to imply a higher quality faculty to work with in certain fields.</p>

<p>I strongly think that Cal and UCLA are nearly equal. What i don’t like is when a lot of people try to claim that they are not using purely intuitionistic or historical bias when the evidence strongly supports that they are.</p>

<p>is clinical psychology a health science or a social science?</p>

<p>Regarding pre-law, since there are no specific majors or courses required, you can be pre-law in any major, including business, CS, etc… However, since law schools have a reputation of caring a lot about GPA, some pre-law students attempt to find the schools, courses, and majors which are easiest to get high grades in. But this may not leave much of a backup option if one does not get into law school.</p>

<p>Economics is a capped major that one has to apply to in order to declare.</p>

<p>The level of math proficiency required for an Economics major is roughly comparable to that of a UGBA major (Math 16B or 1B) if one takes Economics 100A/100B. However, those choosing the more mathematical version, Economics 101A/101B, will need to take more math (Math 53; also Math 54 if one takes Economics C103 or graduate courses).</p>
