Berkeley has the rep of being one of the most "competitive" schools for premedical students; this effort hopes to change that--or at least make it less confusing and intimidating.
Made for premeds, by premed(s) at Cal, this website is an attempt to compile the information from the Premed Advisors, the Premed@Berkeley Facebook group, and hopefully eventually other sources of information in an easy-to-use interface.
Special thanks to "Andrew" and "K.Lam" of the Facebook group, where much of this information comes from.
