Hello, I am currently deciding between schools for undergrad. UCR is high on my list because of its medical school. However, I was wondering what medical schools students in UCR have gotten into, as I'm wondering if going to UCR for premed will hurt my chances of getting into a school like UCLA DGSOM. Thank you in advance!

People from UCR have gotten into medical schools all over the place, including UCLA. Your chances will depend entirely on how you perform during undergrad.

A while back, UCR used to have that the biomed program that was UCR/UCLA combo-deal but they got their own medical school now.

Umm why would going to UCR for undergrad hurt your chance of getting into UCLA-DGSOM? Also just saying, please don't revolve everything you do in undergrad about getting into that one single medical school. Schools like UCLA are very competitive, and many UCLA undergrads didn't get accepted.

PS I heard UCRSOM loves admitting their own students, to the point that about 1/4 or 1/3 of their class is UCR.

Congratulations to getting accepted to UCs, and welcome to the pre-med world!

Go wherever you think you will be successful and happy without being too, too poor.

The further I progress in my training, the more I realize how you do matters much more than where you go.
