✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I've already had a few interviews and feel very comfortable with interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The students, the attention the small class gets, studying at UCLA and gaining experience in underserved areas (best of both worlds).

What impressed you negatively?

No tour. But we will be at UCLA for the first two years and we will not be rotating through King. So I didn't think a tour was necessary.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I enjoyed the group interview because it allowed students to interact with each other. And if students express strict competitiveness rather than cooperation, then the interviewers would note that and I don't think that will go well, especially the small class size, all 24 students should be able to professionally work together. I think this process helps weed out the insensitive gunners =)
