No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interview, other interview at different pharmacy school, talked to other applicants about UCSF, talked to current students, read over my application

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was SO friendly. The staff was nice, my interviewer was really encouraging and sweet, and all the other applicants were really well-rounded, friendly, and outgoing.

What impressed you negatively?

It was raining. :(

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew to bring a snack from reading this feedback, so that was good. I got there super early, and the program didn't start until 30mins after check-in, so I had a lot of lag time. It was okay though, I just chatted with other applicants.

What are your general comments?

I was really impressed by UCSF. It actually wasn't my top choice going into the interview, but after the day was over it definitely was. I thought the best part was that everyone was so friendly and we got a chance to mingle a lot with other applicants. It helped me relax.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
