Hey, fic-related question. If you want to eventually be a doctor and want to go to college on the West Coast, which school would you go to?

UCLA has a huge and (I think) quite excellent medical program.

Thank you! That's just exactly what I was looking for.

UCLA has one of the best medical schools in the country.

sorrelchestnut November 2 2006, 03:34:04 UTC

Thanks! Just what I needed.

Texas A&M.

...what? Texas has a West Coast...

sorrelchestnut November 2 2006, 03:40:07 UTC

Yes, yes of course it does. Just like it has an excellent medical school, as well, I'm sure.

starlightpiper November 2 2006, 13:49:00 UTC

Hellz yea. It's in Texas.

Heh, my first thought was, "Doctor of what?" :)

UCLA is good for medical, but for other sciences, UC Berkley and Stanford are da bomb. :D

Yeah, I definitely meant medical doctor. Didn't even occur to me to specify, unfortunately.

I note that you say 'eventually'..if your character is an undergraduate, you could send them just about anywhere with a decent sciences program- they'd just go somewhere else for medical school.

That's very true. However, most of the people I know, if they can do it, go to the school they want for their graduate program while they're still in undergrad, so I figured it was a good place to start.

I was going to point out what the person just said above and add the caveat that, from what I know, many graduate schools dislike accepting students from their own undergraduate programs, ie: Stanford is not fond of, saw, accepting students from their own undergraduate programs to their law school. Which is not to say it doesn't happen, but it's certainly discouraged. I don't know if it's different for medical programs.

Huh. I did not know that. As I said, I know a lot of people who go to a school for the undergrad program in hopes of getting accepted to the graduate school they want. I'd lay odds that they don't know that, either. Thanks for the tip.
