What impressed you positively?

Great and friendly people. Upperclass-students want to help you out. Excellent board score. Various programs and leadership positions. I feel like home.

What impressed you negatively?

They admit that they are having troubles with getting enough patients. Though it might be a strength because I will be trained to take better care of my patients. Knowing how competitive CA can be, it never hurts to practice good clinical skills to keep your patients.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I am quite familiar with the schools from my previous visits. It is true that they do keep an record of your ranking internally for scholarships and awards nomination.

What are your general comments?

The two doctors who interviewed me are really nice. As a matter of fact, people in UCLA dental school are very nice. Even though the curriculum is harsh sometimes, faculty are willing to help. I love the school very much.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
