help me... im deciding right now between berkeley bioE and ucsd bioE-premed. this is hard to choose. i'm gonna use my major to satisfy most of the pre-med requirements... im not gonna major in biology or chemistry cuz i need a safety net to fall back on in case i get rejected from med school. so, now im trying to decide where to go.
btw, both SD and BERK have given me regents awards.
i like SD because its bioE is topnotch/extremely reputable, great place to live, and i hope to goto UCSD med school.. plus, its practical to drive a car down there. (i hate public transportation) plus, their regents award lets me have priority when picking classes.
i like BERK cuz its more reputable overall. its bioE isn't nearly as reputable though because their program just started a couple years ago. what i hate most is that their regents award doesnt give me priority in picking classes. i also have a little problem with their curriculum because it seems to focus more on mechanics and engineering instead of biology etc.
okay, so what would be better for me considering that i plan to try for med school.. one of my main concerns is: where will i be able to get a better GPA? whats competition like at these places? my goal med school is UCSD.
