I think that's a very bad move. In fact, if you take it easy now, medical school will be pretty much impossible for you. You need to go to the best school you can and take the most rigorous classes you can find, both to prepare you to handle medical school coursework and to improve your chances of getting in. I don't know if it is any easier, but CSU Dominguez Hills doesn't have the quality reputation of Cal State Long Beach.

If you are choosing a career in medicine, life is not EASY. So get over that kind of mentality if you want to succeed in the field. Pre-med classes are hard. Science is not easy. And college in general is not easy. The best option for you would be to evaluate what is the better school, what will give you a stronger curriculum. That will improve your chances of actually getting into medical school (by the way, competitions for medical school admissions are VERY cutthroat, ESPECIALLY in California).

Between the two I would say Long Beach is by far the best out of the Cal States. I actually know someone who transferred from Northridge to Long Beach, she loved it. Her family said it was the best Cal State, their standards for admission are a little bit higher.

good luck getting into med school out of the CSU system, it is notoriously hard to be accepted coming from that system. Hope you are absolutely stellar with lots of outside accomplishements that will set you apart from all the other 3.8 bio majors with 10's on the mcats who volunteer at the local ER

no longer inevitably. the element approximately CSUs is their usual GPA/SAT scores in lots of situations get dragged down because of the fact of community section applicants. So for this reason, CSULB continues to be dedicated to admitting a undeniable chew of community section applicants from the long sea coast section over different applicants from around the state - to that end admissions is way less stressful for them. This brings down the standard SAT/GPA for incoming freshman frequently used. So quite, the standard GPA/SAT for incoming freshman from the long sea coast section is severely decrease than the the remainder of the incoming pupils from the the remainder of California/out of state/out of united states of america that can ought to have a three.6 or 3.7 GPA and a 1200 on the SAT to get in. you are able to thank the CSU's "assure service section" for this. although, i could anticipate that CSULB is instantly going to drop its service section (like SDSU and SJSU did) so all human beings could have an equivalent possibility of having into.

I think with that attitude, you'll make a poor physician!
