How did you prepare for the interview?

Review AMCAS, UCSF website, talked to friends at UCSF, drove up the day before to look around and go to lectures

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty are vibrant! They are doing great things (clinical/basic research, social service, international outreach, etc.) while remaining interesting and fun people. Everyone I asked if they liked UCSF got a huge smile and said "definitely." The school is very supportive of whatever you want to do! You can make it happen here.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are a little old, but who cares if you have the right people and funding. SF is expensive to live!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is dead time during the day. I would make some open appointments with professors and students if you have the opportunity.

What are your general comments?

Very pleasant and relaxed. The closed file nterview is interesting because you basically control what areas you will explore by the information you give. I think it is a good idea to have some thought to how you will present your application to someone who knows nothing about you. It is a very different format from other interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
