What impressed you positively?

I think it was mostly the student host that I was staying with because she really laid everything out for me and told me anything I wanted to know. The city was amazing as was the curriculum of the school. They do have interviews at other locations but they lay it all out for you and there are shuttles to take you just about anywhere--really a great transportation system.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing really

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

I LOVED UCSF. They were not my first choice but now have become number one for me. Really it is the environment that I truly love. Additionally, the curriculum seems phenomenal, and you can have clinical experience right away if you want it at some local clinics throughout the city. This has made me even more excited about medicine and the possibility to help others in some meaningful way. Oh, and they are starting a new program, the PRIME-US program which aims to prepare physicians to serve the urban underserved, which is something I would love to participate in.
