UC Berkeley vs. UC San Diego for PRE MED?

[Alan]

I would accept UCSD if I were in your position. You have to take into account that it will be much harder to maintain a competitive GPA at Cal and that your social life will be destroyed there. You will have to study for countless hours and struggle to get competitive grades, when you can go to another school and most likely do better, and above all, have a good amount of spare time to work, socialize, etc. I don't know man, I feel as Berkeley is slowly losing it's prestige due to their previous admitted classes. This is just my opinion on this and this decision should be made entirely by you, you shouldn't be asking for others to pick for you.
