No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my AMCAS, secondary, know a bit about the school ahead of time

What impressed you positively?

Clinical experiences at County appear to be second to none in the country, many facilities and hospitals, many options for rotations elsewhere, happy students, L.A., loved it

What impressed you negatively?

Boyle Heights itself is not a fun or interesting neighborhood but that kinda doesn't matter much, small computer lab, no gym or weights apparently (at least they weren't even mentioned), parking can be rough.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The Bishop building is complicated. Go early to find faculty if your interview is in there.

What are your general comments?

Great school. Won't bore anyone with details but generally, the people there are good and you can read my other comments down below. But, my faculty interview went for 2 hours - no joke. He both asked a lot of questions and we did a good deal of chatting in between questions/responses. He either loved me or just wanted to keep asking questions. Nothign too hard though.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
