I have a final tomorrow in banking I'm procrastinating for right now. Then I have 3 finals Tuesday. I'll get to 164 sometime on Wednesday. I like our professor.

WOW!Tuesday sounds like HELL! Good Luck!
Yeah, the professor is alright... he's always so nervous. It bugs, but he's cool. 😎
I should mention that I'm annoyed because I'm going to get a B in the class and potentially a C+/B- in 111L lab. I've let myself slip big time. 🙁

I'm taking too many units...very stressful time of year. What is 111L? Have you taken 113L yet?

so im not the only one who thought it was boring and desolate there.
but i did like the curriculum. ithe early clinical and small group stuff was pretty cool and unique. nice variety of clinical opportunities. if you like outreach and working with the underserved, obviously there are lots of opps there. students seemed happy there. i know one told me to make sure i dont go to ucsd cause of the long lecture hours and such. i guess the early clinical and small groups might be the only defining thing about uci. and i guess its more laid back. but ucsd is ranked much higher.
just some random thoughts. hope that helps.

Hi all!
I have a quick question. Between UCI and USC which one would you go to and why?
Thanks for the input!

I don't think there is much difference curriculum wise... so that's really all there is to it I think.

See, for me, this one is easy. USC beats UCI in my book... it has a better reputation and better location. I prefer LA to OC, and just look at the match list, clearly students do very well there. I don't think there is much difference curriculum wise... so that's really all there is to it I think. Its going to cost a *bit* more but does that really matter in the long run when you are going to make a six figure salary?

Hey DoctorKevin,
I don't get it... you are undecided between UCSD and UCI, and you'd pick USC over UCSD if u could???
I doesn't make much sense to me.
After all, most UC students end up doing great residencies in Cal. I don't think ranking matters unless you plan on going to the east coast for residency.
And yeah, $40,000 more or less of debt ain't much, but with interest rates it can become a difference of $80,000 and more! Why would someone indebt themselves when they can get into good residency IN Cal after attending med school at UCI, UCSD or USC??

Jalby,
Could you elaborate on the curriculum difference btw USC and UCI?
Thanks😀

here goes my 2 cents,
uci has one of the highest average board score among the uc's. we rocked the skills exam given to fourth years recieving the highest score among all the uc's. our tuition although rising is still much cheaper than usc. true irvine is not the most exiting city around, i'll be the first to admit, but lets be honest here once school starts your not going to have as much free time as you have now. the city is very clean and safe w/ plenty of places for you to get your study on but la, sd and the beach is not too far drive away if you want to get away for a while. if your thinking phd or more scientific/research line down the road than ucsd is probably a better choice since they make all their students do research. if your a chill individual who understands that you control your own destiny and not some stupid website ranking or blah blah from fools w/ too much time on online messaging boards than irvine is the place for you and we be glad to welcome you when you get here. either way you have some good choices to pick from. good luck w/ your decision.
OP

OK if UCSD's is 225 I'm curious to see if UCI's is any higher since they are supposedly "more like a prep course" than UCSD which only teaches "useless scientific details."
Eraserhead said:I just did a quick count of the above names and got 107. Since the class size is 120, perhaps a few did not match? Don't a few people drop out of every med school class?
cbc said:I'm thinking the MD/PhDs finish at different times, plus probably a few do drop out. Not sure what's really going on there exactly, but that's just what I've heard about ucsd crying on match day this year.
I'm looking at this: UCI and USC's matchlist. It looks like both UCI and USC do even a little better than UCSD on the match. And many students tend to stay at their own institution, so why is there such a low amount of ucsd students going to ucsd residency? Is it because of the low # of spots, their residencies dont like to take their own students, or students like to go elsewhere?
I hope I dont seem to be saying bad things about ucsd, as that is not my intention. I am just curious for some answers to these discrepancies.
