So uci interviews about 250 each year for 20 categorical spots. Anyone know how far on the rank lists uci goes? I'm not a particularly strong applicant.

How are the other Southern cali programs like usc or loma linda?

Uhh i'm pretty sure its not that competitive. The only places I could see being "competitive" for IM in Cali would be UCSF, Stanford, to a much lesser degree UCLA. The rest of them are wide open and take a fair amount of FMGs
