I'm an M2 currently attending Texas A&M medical school, who would love to get into Loma Linda IMed residency program. Can some current Loma Linda IMed residents give me some advice on what kind of CV I should build in order to be competitive? What would be considered a competitive USMLE score for Loma Linda? Do they care much about GPA? What were your feelings when you interviewed there? Are they looking for a lot of extracurricular activities?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Speaking as an M4 only, I can say that I think Loma Linda's standards are not super high. They have a rule that they will take every applicant from their own school for IM, so I assume they are less competitive when it comes to applicants from other schools, too. LLU has a new PD now though. I'm not sure if he plans on making any major changes to the program. It has been rumored that he may select fewer IMGs. Perhaps I'm biased, but I do think LLU has a decent IM program despite being less competitive though.
