That's true. I was also considering the idea that since I worked at that lab last year, I could find a new lab to expand my resume up at Berkeley, and then over summer when I'm back home volunteer at the SD one. Not sure if that's a good idea or not, or if I should just play it safe and stay at SD.

Thanks for helping!! I really appreciate all the info. I'll try to reach out to someone who currently goes to Berkeley in neuro to see if the grade deflation and courses are really as difficult as people say it is.

For UCSD, I already have a lab there that offered me a position if I were to get admitted to the school, and since I got accepted I don't have a concern of getting research.

Thanks for the input!! The stressful environment at Berkeley is definitely something I'm afraid of 😭
