I guess nobody likes the ghetto (Oakland.) lol
Western is my top choice because:
1. There is no doubt they will get accredited.
2. WesternU has a great Osteopathic program already (one of the top "ranked" based on MCAT score), so I will take that as a plus.
3. IT'S IN SUNNY SOCAL! Weather is awesome, and diversity vast. (Side note, mid-way between Vegas and awesome beaches.) 🙂
4. They've added new facilities to their growing campus. (I like new.)
5. I'm hoping, and guessing, they have great options in terms of 3rd and 4th year rotations being an hour away from UCLA, etc.
6. Dr. Lawrence Harkless is the dean. (Look him up.)
I'll find out if my suspicions are true soon enough. I'm very excited!
