best of luck

This is not a flame-- but generally having a blast (good times on a regular basis) does not equate to doing very well. There are those who can do it, but if you are not one of those people I would suggest not going to C.R. Way too many distractions-- beautiful women being number one.
If you do not get accepted to SGU, AUC or Ross-- I would do some research and seriously consider SMU. I am here now and like the school a lot. Really good professors and geared toward USMLE. The island is modern and plenty of things to do after exams like waverunners, harley davidson tours, scuba and bars. Shelf exams are incorporated into the program which gives you an idea of what to expect for USMLE.
Kinda some random thoughts here on my part, but let me know if you have any questions. No regrets about coming here whatsover--even with the recent issues with loans.
