Thank you so much for the list. I will definitely look through MSAR for the requirements and what not. Not sure if I will be applying to Loma Linda due to the need for a religious LOR as well as how religious the campus is from what I've read. Thank you!
Still thinking UCLA and USC because of my story as well as it is very close to where I grew up (obviously plays no role in selection). I don't think I am considered to be part of the Riverside region since I grew up 40 minutes away from Riverside (in LA county). Does that count?
