How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed the schools materials, my files (essays, resume etc), went to the places that I would be at the next day, and went for a relaxing hike in the mtns behind the med school the day before.

What impressed you positively?

The Health Science Center facilities will be magnificent when they open in 2005. They are now have tours of it through May 23, 2005. This 5 story building is essentially just for the medical students. It is really quite incredible!!!

What impressed you negatively?

The inversion/smog (which occurs 20-30 days/year)in the city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How large the city was and how extensive the facilities were!! The U is an incredible institution!!!

What are your general comments?

Great experience. If you get a chance when you visit plan an extra couple of days to ski/hike or interact with the outdoors. Most students from out of state come there for precisely that reason....
