Berkeley without a fraction of a doubt. Much more opportunity; I’ve heard getting shadowing and research at UCLA is tough because of how many students are there. I’ve also heard that the grade deflation can be tough but those that succeed at Cal do exceedingly well when applying. Met a Cal grad that was choosing between Harvard and JHU for med school.

They are both great schools that offer pre-meds plenty of opportunities. They are also both big schools that will require you--to some extent--to make your own way. I would go to the school where you feel most comfortable and have the best support network. Good luck!

You don't need to bump yet... it's only 12 hours! We ain't trolling like reddit. 🙂

Have you met the prehealth offices and club officers at both schools?
