Which University Of California should I choose Irvine or Riverside (medical)?
476003
Go to University of California Irvine - it is a better school, your friends are there and they are giving you more financial aid!\n\nIt seems like your only reason for picking Riverside is because it is closer to your home and the honours program. This is not good enough reasons and you will regret it.\n\nWhen I was looking at Universities, I applied and got accepted into London School of Economics, but turned it down and chose one nearer my home town, The University of Bath. Both are good, but I wish I had had the experience of London and the potential of the school to take me onto new things! I am now only 1 1/2 months from graduation and still don't feel like I have lived the way I wanted to.\n\nGood luck!

I would say UC Davis is the best. \n\nYou could always look up the list online, just type in top 100 medical schools in USA - then look through it for ones in Cali

Berkely is the strongest on your list. UCLA is a good second choice, so apply to both. UC Davis should be your third choice. \n\nIf you don't go to Berkely for your undergrad, try them for your law degree. They have a fabulous, extremely well respected law school.

There are several - Fourth tier schools like Whittier Law School (Nixon is an alumni) and Chapman are decent schools, for being low ranked.  There are a few others - I've heard of one called Trinity in Santa Ana, and I think it's California Western?? or is it Western State? Anyway, something with a name like that is in Fullerton, but they just got back their ABA accreditation provisionally, so I'd steer clear of that one. There aren't any first or second tier schools in OC, you're better off going to LA for that.\n\nIn LA, there is Southwestern in downtown, which I believe is third tier.  Also, there is Loyola, which I attend (and commute to daily from OC) in downtown, a ranked school with excellent reputation in LA and southern California.  There is also USC and UCLA, excellent schools, but hard to get into. Pepperdine is ranked, but it's in Malibu, and it's impossible to commute there, and far enough from downtown it's hard to get over there for externships, etc, but it's still a good school.\n\nIf you want to go to a ranked school and live in OC, I would apply to Loyola, USC, UCLA, etc.  Depending on your profile, Whittier and Chapman are also good for being lower tier schools.

Berkeley because the college scene there is unlike any other...where else are you going to have a naked guy?  Everyone there is very chill and open to new things, unlike UCLA which is a bit more uptight and USC which is just a bunch of rich kids.  Also you'll be close to San Fransisco which is one the greatest cities in CA.  Good luck where ever you choose!

Sure no problem. I lived in Irvine last year. OK - best school is university high school - but its REALLY competative and by that I mean top 15 public high schools in California and top 50 in the nation. Irvine is pretty expensive but its basically a picturesque place to live. It was rated the safest place in the United States with population over 100,000. Irvine is also very Asian American so you'll bump into a lot of Chinese and Korean Americans and so the schools will be very competative and very safe. The best place to go shopping in Irvine - I say South Coast Plaza which is really close (actually in Costa Mesa) - great shopping has just about everything. As for kids, there are parks literred all over the place and there are coffee shops just around every corner. Irvine, CA is home to the University of California Irvine - so there's a lot of places to go there. There are a number of beaches really close by such as Newport Beach and Laguna Beach as well as Huntington beach. I say Laguna is the best. 15 minute drive. Irvine is one of the best places in the world to raise children in my opinion.

UC Berkeley, hands-down, is the best public university.  That's why UC Berkeley is the only UC school who gets to call themselves simply "University of California."  That's why when you say I go to "Cal" it means UC Berkeley.  Each state designates one university to be the flagship state university, and in California "Cal" is the one.  Cal also remains the highest ranked UC in all major ranking publications.\n\nP.S. However, if you are considering private schools (i.e. Cal Tech, Stanford), that's another story.

Well, I went into the University of California system, and I got accepted to UC Davis in aeronautical engineering.  I had around a 3.5 GPA.  I also got accepted to UC Santa Cruz and UC Riverside in computer science.\n\nIt's easier to get into a good school by going into a less popular major.  You can try to transfer out of that major later if you really don't like it, but no guarantees.  Computer science was a very popular major when I applied 5 years ago, and aeronautical engineering was not very popular.  I applied to UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, but they didn't accept me for computer science.\n\nIt really depends on which major you choose and your grades.  3.0 is probably not good enough to get into a really good schools like MIT, the Ivy League, etc. regardless which major you choose.  \n\nCheck the average GPA that the college accepts.  Kids who get accepted to UCLA have near a 4.0.  UC Merced will take almost anyone since they are the newest school in the UC system.

My daughter went to SCU and loved it.  Quality education, good social groups and a ton of fun.  UCI's having a bunch of trouble and controversy these days.

Check out University of Oklahoma in Norman Oklahoma.  I went to undergrad there and loved it.  They have a pretty good medical school and I think a PT program.\nI'm in law school now, and I love Oklahoma

I attended Cal Poly SLO for undergrad and UCSB for grad school. I really enjoyed Cal Poly, no grad students to waste the professors time and I also liked the small town feel of San Luis Obispo. Because Cal Poly is focused solely on undergraduate education you will get much more individual attention. I don't know much about the other schools on your list though. Make sure to visit each one to really get a feel for the campus and the people. Good luck!
