My niece is deciding where to go for college and I'm helping her research by going to the best site on the planet! Hahaha, I ran a search and read thorugh some information on both but never saw a direct comparison thread.
Both are full ride.
I know I know, it's all about your GPA/MCAT. I know Notre Dame has a tight alumni base but UCLA's hospital is right there on campus for research stuff. But I'm mainly concerned about overall GPA inflation + places where my niece won't get annihilated by an evil professor or several calc class pre-reqs (yes yes I know o-chem is a universal weedout course).
So, can we get some ND and UCLA alumni here to debate each other out on where my niece should go to maximize her chances at being a surgeon? Thanks!
EDIT: Don't care about weather, partying, whatever. My niece is laser focused on med school. The only thing I'm looking at is academics and best research opportunities / GPA averages / weedout courses / opportunities to succeed.
