Answer 1

USF - too expensive, not very well-ranked
(third tier according to US News & World Report)
UC Davis - cow town, smells like barn, good biology program, good ag subjects (of course) not a bad backup school (second tier)
UC Irvine - Orange County sucks, school is all Asian, good if you like finance and phô (second tier)
Stanfurd - sucks. just sucks

Yes, I went to UC Berkeley. I double-majored in molecular cell bio and Southeast Asian studies. Brilliant professors. Diverse (racially, economically, politically, experientially) student body. Plenty of research opportunities for students. High grad/med/law school matriculation rate. Lots of action on campus every day. Best 4 years of my life. If I could I'd do it all again, (but not major in MCB!).
