I'm in a bit of a quandary here:
As a future college freshman, I've been accepted to the undergraduate Biology Major at UCSD, and Pre-Psych Major at UCLA (I will petition to change it to Biology my second quarter) and I cannot decide on which school to go to.
The main question is: Which school is better at Biology?
I have seen rankings that put Biomedical Engineering at UCSD higher than any other UC, research funds and progress at UCSD are higher than any other UC, and I have heard (by word of mouth) that the biology program at UCSD is harder than that of UCLA.
However, UCLA has the bigger name, and supposedly the stronger medical school.
Considering medical school in the future, would it be easier to get into medical school by going to the "harder" school and get so-so grades - as opposed to going to the "easier" school and get good grades?
