Cal Poly Pomona v UC Riverside?

Don't worry so much about four years from now. Instead of worrying about reputations, I would rather concentrate on studying your butt off. Both schools are good and if you did well at either place, you should have no problem getting accepted into UCLA or any other decent medical school. Check out both campuses, talk to faculty and students and see which one you'd like to spend the next four years. Personally, I think Cal Poly Pomona is superior in architecture, engineering and the sciences and the lower price is very attractive. It's closer to the happenings in Los Angeles than UCR.
