What impressed you positively?

Location is very peaceful. San Bernardino mountains are very impressive. School is overall great. They have update facilities and labs, nothing weak.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. Except it is extremely difficult to get in if your not 7th Day Advendist. I wish I knew.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Loma Linda uses a strict formula to decide who to accept. I overhead the admissions staff discussing about it. Very imtimidating knowing if your stats are shaky, you don't have a chance.

What are your general comments?

Great experience overall. The traffic from LA to Loma Linda on the 10East is horrible. Took me over two hours to get back home. Plus, the location is really smoggy for some reason. Its like all the smog from the LA Basin rises up to the San Bernardino mountains and stays up there. Strange. Its way worse than downtown LA. Hard to see 10 miles infront of you. Human eye under clear conditions is able to see 80 miles ahead. I can't imagine what that does for your health.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
