✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read what I wrote in my apps, took previous day off work to relax.

What impressed you positively?

The incredible reputation of the school, along with the willingness for the administration to make sure all their students do well and pass everything. Also that they do have some housing on-campus, AND housing at the new Mission Bay campus (which is amazing).

What impressed you negatively?

Parking.... really difficult to commute to campus by car if youre a student.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Check-in time is really the check-in time on the letter...because they start everything 30 min after that. Didn't have to arrive any earlier (unless youre new to the campus).

What are your general comments?

The interview, I guess, was semi-closed file. The interviewers only have access to your extracurriculars, and the essays written on pharmcas and the supp app. Also, make sure to at least look at the 3 pathways. I really liked the options.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
