How did you prepare for the interview?

Read their website and SDN interview feedback. This was my last interview, so at this point, I had become a seasoned interviewer!

What impressed you positively?

My faculty interviewer is the nicest professor I've met on the interview trail--he chatted with me for over an hour, so that I wouldn't have much down time between his interview and my student interview. The school's location is unbeatable--great weather, located in a very nice part of town, new hopsital being built that is supposedly the most technologically advanced, friendly and good-looking students/people, very diverse class, on the main campus so you really feel as you're part of UCLA, P/F all four years except for third year where you can get letters of distinction, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. This is a wonderful school!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I forgot to pack my belt!

What are your general comments?

This is an amazing school in an amazing city! The resources seem unlimited! I really hope I get in!
