Hello,
I am new to college confidential and I have a question. I have been accepted as a transfer to UCI and UC Davis. I am a pre-med student right now with about a 3.4 GPA. I've briefly visited both campuses only to get a general feel. I am seeking advice on what school you think I should go to and why. Is one more synonmously prestigious than the other? Is one better for pre-med than the other? Are there better oppurtunities at one than the other? What are the people like, how is the overall social vibe? What is the overall college dynamic/culture like?
Just for reference, I live in so. cal so I know what good weather feels like ;) and what to anticipate at UCI. IDK about Davis if its the same. Also, I am vegan so if one place has better food than the other let me know!!!!
Also, I need to take a full sequence of O-chem and Physics, idk if this impacts where I go. Also, I maybe possibly interested if I went to UCI to change my major to Human Biology because it interests me a little more and I think it might suit me better for my pre-med endeavors.
Here is some information about if this helps:
UC Davis
Major: Global Disease Biology
My impression of location: Loved the campus and the town surrounding it. It felt like a true college town.
-Has an internship that I am interested in through their medical school where I can see patients and give basic health advice and treat them for basic things.
UCI:
Major: Public Health Sciences
My impression of location: Liked the ocean climate but never saw where the beach was. The campus feels like a concrete jungle with little to no true nature.
Any info/advice helps. Thank you! :)
