How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read all interview feedback available on SDN, talked with pharmacists and UCSF interns/graduates, took notes on main points for interview responses, read about UCSF on their website

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of everyone from the chat room to the interview to the financial aid session... the organization was wonderful, the welcoming feel and the professional vibe it all had. It was so comfortable, even though most people were really nervous!

What impressed you negatively?

My GPS told me to take a left on a one-way street that I could not take a left on...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

When they say &quot;check-in 8:30am&quot; they REALLY mean check-in from 8:30-9am, and the program starts at 9am. Oh well! Getting there at 8am was... okay.

What are your general comments?

My first (and probably only) interview: should have been nervewrecking, but it was instead very wonderful because everyone was so friendly and helpful!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
