What impressed you positively?

San Francisco and the UCSF campus are amazing. There are great views from all over campus, esp. from the library and anatomy lab. The student who gave us a tour was great!

What impressed you negatively?

The campus has a different feel than I'm used to because there is no undergraduate campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was very nervous going to this interview because it's such a great school and it's my top choice. But there was no reason to be nervous! The interviewees, interviewers, and staff were all very friendly and conversational!

What are your general comments?

The interview day was very relaxed, which I was very surprised about. All of the students I talked to seemed very happy at UCSF and thought that SF is a great place to live. The admissions staff really went out of their way to make sure the day went smoothly and to tell us all the great things that UCSF has to offer. I would definitely say that this was my best interview experience!
