How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read their pamphlet.

What impressed you positively?

The health center facility is gorgeous, and Connecticut funds UConn with huge amounts of money, which they use to upgrade their facilities and fund research (CA is in a state deficit, lots of budget cuts at UCLA and UCSF)

What impressed you negatively?

I guess I can say the cold weather, but I actually thought it was bearable (this coming from someone who lived in CA all his life). Most of the time you're inside their nice facilities anyways

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

UConn class is only 40 students large, very nice. They have a very high rate of ppl who go on to specialize

What are your general comments?

My UConn visit was very positive, UConn impressed me a lot. Factoring out the location, their board scores, reputation, and success in sending students off to specialize is very impressive. The faculty is also VERY nice, and they tell you straight up that the interview is supposed to be a way for them to represent you, not to judge you. Basically, they're looking for reasons to confirm that you should be accepted, not reasons why they're too good for you or reasons why they shouldn't accept you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
