Pennybridge, you can disagree with my points, but please don't resort to personal attacks. It's really immature and makes you sound ignorant. I respect the clincial education at Keck-- but it's not the only way to do things and it's not necessarily the right way to do things. If you search...

Many schools, including the UCs, are emphasizing clinical education during the first two years. This is no longer unique to Keck. It is probably true that USC student will get to "do more" during their clinical years. Is this a good thing? Not necessarily. USC is known for allowing lesser...

UCLA's undergraduate and athletic teams are attractive if you did not have a great experience in undergrad. But I will always contend that if you went to a school with a strong athletic dept in your undergrad, you will always be loyal to that team and won't necessarily need the UCLA Bruins to...

Many schools do not make their match lists public because they want to protect the privacy of their students.

Both are terrific schools. Anyone would be lucky to go to either of them. Four years ago, I was waitlisted by HMS and accepted by UCSF. I'm very happy that I was not accepted by HMS in retrospect because I probably would have chosen HMS. I could not be happier with the experience I have had at...

http://www.campuslifeservices.ucsf.edu/housing/off_campus/service/ there is a ucsf housing roommate finder list. many people find roomates there. craigslist also works for finding non-ucsf or ucsf roommates. another good time is to try to meet people at the revisit and see if you can't...
