Hi everyone, I tried searching for a more recent post of this topic but couldn't find one, so I apologize for bringing this up again with all of the discussion history already on SDN. I went out of state for medical school and really want to be with my family in CA. I wanted to get people's thoughts on how to rank the mid/low tier Cali programs including: Scripps, Loma Linda, UCR, UCI, UC Davis, Cedars Sinai, USC, Kaiser, CPMC, Santa Clara Valley, Harbor, Olive View

A few changes that I've noticed compared to older posts:
- USC and LA General have split, from what I understand this doesn't really affect anything, and their fellowship match was really strong last yea
- UCI seems to have exceptional clinical training, has their reputation improved?
- Harbor is no longer affiliated with UCLA (unsure when that change happened, but I had the impression that Harbor > OV, is this still the case?)
- Cedars reputation seems to have much improved, seems less of a cush program than Scripps at least
