How did you prepare for the interview?

talked to friends who went to UCSF or already interviewed there; SDN; UCSF website

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The campus is sweeeet-very nice facility and it's in SF, which is a town I dig

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewers weren't very responsive to my questions; though the interviews are closed file, this may actually not be beneficial to you because the interviewers spend a lot of time writing down what you say in response to their questions; this left me with the feeling that they weren't very engaged in the interview/conversation; some people told me that the interviews would be kick-back but I didn't sense this at all from my interviewers, which was a real disappointment; also, I've been told that some of the students there are a little bit disrespectful of the UCSF residents

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

For the most part, the students at UCSF were pretty cool; campus is very nice but having a car and driving to school is impossible (it's like $20/day to park!)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, I liked UCSF and its curriculum; just wish some of the faculty/students were more welcoming.
