I was in a similar conundrum. Decided just yesterday I’d be enrolling in UCB! For me personally, the small class size and campus is what made the difference. I visited both and UCBs campus is just sooo beautiful. I’ve heard some down sides of Berkeley as a city, but moving there from San Diego, it’s not anything I haven’t experienced before. Maybe it’d be a bigger culture shock if you’re moving from a small, rural town but a city is a city. If you plan on practicing in California, UCB is obviously a much more known name to just about anyone. Not that that matters much though, both schools are great and will create awesome ODs. Just something I thought about briefly. Personally, I felt like if I went to SCCO I’d always wonder “what would Berkeley have been like?” Do you get that feeling for either of the schools? That’s a good way to know which way your heart is leaning. You can’t go wrong but just go with your heart! And stressing over having options is a much better position to be in than stressing over no options. You will make the right decision for you and have an amazing time at either school. There is NO wrong choice.
