How did you prepare for the interview?

Secondary app., UCLA website, previous interviews.

What impressed you positively?

Both, student and faculty, interviewers were very pleasant and interesting. The interviews were more conversation like rather than question and answer. The school and facilities are very nice. Westwood is a beautiful city.

What impressed you negatively?

The traffic around there, no lunch, there weren't many patients there. They did say that it was Friday and they are very busy from Mon-Thu. I have been to other interviews on Fri. where they had very little patients also.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There's no lunch.

What are your general comments?

The interview was overall relaxed. We started with the essay. Then we had the usual information session on the school and financial aid. We then either met with our student interviewer, faculty interviewer or reviewed our transcripts. We had a tour of the school and lastly we were measured for coats, scrubs and gloves.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
