I actually grew up a stone's throw away from UCLA and took courses there when I was in high school. It's a gorgeous university overall. Why do I detect regret in your tone about picking UCLA over Berkeley? How do you like UCLA?
Both schools, in my opinion, are comparable in academic quality, especially when it comes to studying biology. The competition is fierece, but if you can work on your studies diligently and establish good relationships with your professors for potential opportunities. I actually thought it was more competitive to get in UCLA than Berkeley because more prospects want to live in Los Angeles!
