How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading over my AMCAS and secondary application. Looking at the UCI website and a mock interview.

What impressed you positively?

The students and staff were really positive about the school and the 1st year class seems really tight knit and active in the surrounding community. Also, students seem to be given good opportunity to voice concerns and/or ideas to faculty and staff.

What impressed you negatively?

There seems to be difficulty getting housing and Irvine is pretty expensive. Also, the medical center is separate from the campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is absoulutely no reason to be stressed; everyone is there just to get to know you and its a great opportunity to ask any questions you have.

What are your general comments?

The day starts at 8 am with an (optional) tour of campus. There is an informational session from 9 till lunch with students and staff. After lunch, is the student interview, followed by the faculty interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
