At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read through my AMCAS and secondary application and looked over the UCLA SOM website. I also made up a set of questions specifically for UCLA.
What impressed you positively?
My interviewer seemed genuinely interested in me and had read at least a part of my application.
What impressed you negatively?
The interview day felt disorganized. The student tour wasn't very good. There isn't very much in the student hosting category--the admissions office only gave me the name of one person and when she said no that was it.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
No one could tell me much about the curriculum change. The medical school students seemed happy enough but they weren't dancing in the street happy either.
What are your general comments?
I had already attended summer school at UCLA, so I already had a little exposure to the school. I didn't find out that many more things that I liked but I didn't see anything I didn't like either.
