Application, SDN, UCLA website

What impressed you positively?

The students were really nice and welcoming. They were very down to earth and truthful about their experiences. There are also about 8 different hospitals to do clerkships which is pretty amazing and the diversity is great.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. I only got to meet one faculty member.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The day is pretty short. Have your cell phone handy for transportation.

What are your general comments?

Overall my experience at UCLA was great. Everyone was really welcoming and nice and answered all my questions. They are currently undergoing a new curriculm with only 2 hours of lecture a day and a lot of on-your-own study time. It's P/F so there isn't a competitive vibe between students and HELLO, it's LA, who wouldn't love sunshine all year round?

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
