I've been doing a post-bac for the last year and taking classes at both a UC and a Cal State school. I have only taken 2 classes at the state school but it is like night and day. People are way less competitive and the classes are really a joke compared to the UC ones. The problem is that I didn't learn jack and it will make MCAT prep more difficult. My suggestion is that if you still live near Berkeley to take a few classes there to "prove" that you can handle the competition. Tell the Adcomm that you took most of your classes at the state school for financial reasons or whatever. Adcomms know which schools are which. If all you did for a living was evaulate medical school applications then you would know about virtually every college out there too. I bet they even know which classes are hard/easy at many schools.
