brochure, SDN, reread AMCAS and secondary

What impressed you positively?

students love their program, a chance to really help the underserved, a lot of hands on opportunities

What impressed you negatively?

location, recent problems they are having, small class size, facilities are really bad

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that i don't want to jeopardize all I've worked for by attending this school. Also, after speaking to a few UCLA students, I found out that many UCLA students look down on the kids in the Drew program as do many faculty members at UCLA.

What are your general comments?

VERY unorganized day. There was something else going on in the waiting area the day I interviewed, so there wasn't a waiting room for the interviewees...we were crammed together into a cubby hole. My student interviewer couldn't really answer my questions though she was a third year. When asked if she wanted to practice medicine in underserved areas, her answer was, "No way."

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
