You have a good chance of getting into any medical school if you put in the time and work (with a bit of luck of course!).
What is UcD and UcI? I assume you mean UCD and UCI?
Do you have a good chance? Well...have you taken the pre-reqs? Do you have a good GPA? Did you get a good MCAT score? Do you have all your EC's covered? Without any of that information how the heck would we know if you can get into a good med school...or any med school for that matter.

You do that, and you'll have a shot at MD. Best of luck to you, and do take a look at the "compilation of essential SDN wisdom" when you get a chance.

Go where you are happy for university. UCI and UCD both generate successful pre-meds.
