How did you prepare for the interview?

Pray that it goes well! I went to undergrad here and this is my first choice and the only Cali school i got an interview to.

What impressed you positively?

Students were happy and very tight knit.

What impressed you negatively?

Not as many different locations where you can do clerkships as other schools and the main hospital is bout 15 miles away.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It would be a really small interview group. I guess usually it's around 20 people, but my group only had 5-6. i guess b/c interviews are winding down.

What are your general comments?

Didn't need to get there till around 11:30. Met with gayle pierce and everyone else in her office. She went over admin stuff (like housing, financial, etc). Lunch was okay...sandwiches and fruits. Interview with student was over lunch. Then if there was time, tour with your student.....sinch i knew what was over at the med school, he just showed me the anatomy lab. faculty interview was very laid back, although she threw me off by asking me a questions about my research right off the bat. Interview was standard questions. Overall, interview day was from 11:30 till 3:00. Can't complain about Southern Cali weather!! Only problem is that not much to do in Irvine itself but everyone drives so you can always drive up to LA or something.
