Man you are a jerk... I just explain how excited I was about being excepted and people like you have to come down on my parade. That's cool though because I know you don't know what the hell your talking about. Some mountain (Mount Baldy) is 30 minutes away from Pomona I'm told (I'm not from Ca, but <10 mi per atlas). And by the way - you say that it would take 3-4 hours to get to Mexico, Tijuana is <115 miles away, straight down the I5 from Pomona. This would get you to mexico in close to 1.5 hours. Regardless I shouldn't have to be attacked about things that everyone on my tour was told. I pray you don't go to Western.
I'm sorry, I didnt mean to come off that way, and I'm not trying to rain on your parade. You should be very excited about Western, its a great school, with great students, and so cal is a great location. I love so cal, as I have grown up here all my life. I wasnt attacking you, you just seemed a little misinformed. And yes, I forgot about Mt Baldy...that resort is pretty much under the radar around here, for the same rasons that Mountian High is under the radar. Its better to just drive a little further to BIg Bear, trust me. And I never said it would take 3-4 hours to get to Mexico. Your unwarranted anger/hatred for me has blinded you, and you are confusing my comments with another poster's. Check again.
I think you should just take a chill pill, relax, and not be so defensive. Dont let people get under your skin so easily. I never said anything negative about you or Western, so I'm not sure what you are so angry about.
As far as calling on the powers of God to make sure I don't attend Western.......ouch!! That one kinda hurts. How about I pray to God that
I do go to Western and we'll see who he likes more? Although I feel its only fair to warn you, I am a URM, so i might have a slight edge. Or is that only in the med school application process?
EDIT: Just in case any one gets offended by my last comment, I was joking. I am URM, and was making fun of the people that always say you can get in to med school as a URM with a 2.8 23 MCAT.
And youll probably hate me for this, but since i already lost your love, it really doesnt matter anymore. The "I5" is not near Pomona. Its about 30 miles west. From there, its about 130 miles (depending on where you get on the 5) to San Diego and still further to the Tijuana border. You'd be better off taking the 15 from the pomona area down to san diego. Yes, I konw what I'm talking about. I grew up in San Diego, go to school in LA, and live 30 miles from western.
