I've lived all over California though, so I wouldn't necessarily say its been a bubble. There's certainly a very different culture going on between northern and southern california and that is also even further divided (like the major differences between Orange County and LA County as well as the Bay Area compared to the Central Valley). I would say that my love of California is great because I have seen so many different aspects of it.
but yeah, being a CA resident hasn't brought me any luck for AMCAS 🙄
Aw, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it that way. I guess I was just saying in the grand scheme of things, it was a bubble to me relative to region / country. Living West Coast / Midwest / East Coast / abroad, etc. There are a lot of great things about CA. It does have such diverse aspects because it's such a huge state. But Texans feel that way about their state too, and I don't think their claims aren't any less valid, you know?
If it makes you feel better, I mercilessly mock this one guy who insists MN is the best place on earth and that CA is terrible, even though he's never visited the state before. It goes both ways.
