The MISSION of UCLA is awesome, the DIVERSITY of UCLA is tremendous, the LOCATION can not be beat by any other campus, the FACULTY is nicer than any other school i have been to, and most importantly, the P/F grading system is a Blessing!!! SO much other things to mention.. but those are just a few for you guys to think about!!!

Nothing! UCLA by far is my DREAM school!

What are your general comments?

My interview experience at UCLA was my best med school experience out of all of the schools I interviewed at. The atmosphere was great! The students really love the fact that they are going to UCLA..and all of them said they made the absolute right choice in going there. UCLA is a great campus because they really focus on diversifying the medical field and reaching out to all populations that are in need of medical care. Overall, UCLA solidified my choice of wanting to attend there.
