What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about foreign languages.
What would you do about AIDS in Africa? (Teach them and educate them so they know the consequences of their actions! You can give them a fish (money, cure, etc) or you can teach them how to fish(no need for $ or a cure it is self curable).
Why do you want to be a Doctor?

What was the most interesting question?

If I was in charge of a research found and had to decide which research to support, who would you give the funds to, Cancer research or AIDS research? Easy Cancer. AIDS is easily curable. (it is called abstinence). He also asked me why I would consider myself as having more responsibility than any other 24 year old. (I didn't consider myself as havingmore responsibility but I guess I do having a wife and Child on the way).

What was the most difficult question?

None. Iguess why you want to be a Doctor. I didn't know I thought spending a quarter of a million dollars on schooling and giving about 10 years of my life to it sounded like the cool thing to do. I think those questions were answered in our applications.

Nothing. the campus facilities are different than most other schools but hey it used to be a strip mall. There is nothing negative about So. Cal. except if you don't speak spanish.

Nothing. How quick it is to get to even though there is traffic. It is really not that bad of a drive from Orange County to Pomona.
