How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed lists of questions, reviewed my application and essays, and read APHA The Nation's Health Newspaper.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewers had read everything provided to them. They were interested in me and seemed to be matched to me and my interests. I felt like UC Irvine was interested in me as a person. All of the people were fantastic.

What impressed you negatively?

Our tour guide wasn't able to show us any classrooms or the cadaver lab. We were only able to see the biomedical library from a distance due to time limitations.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was so relaxed and friendly. I shouldn't have been so stressed about it.

What are your general comments?

The entire experience was very positive. I felt like they were trying to get to know me better. It was fun and relaxed. All the people I met were really friendly, down-to-earth, people. I got the sense that the students felt supported. I left UC Irvine COM feeling much more interested in the school because of the great overall experience.
