How did you prepare for the interview?

read studentdoc.net it is really the best source ever,,because the questions are more or less the same,,and i also read umb website!

What impressed you positively?

the friendly staff! the campus is very close to John Hopkins hospitals, imagine all the great career opportunites that you can have in this city! plus most of the residencies at UMB are done in affiliation with john Hopkins!

What impressed you negatively?

the cold! but after living in southern Cali for four years i am ready for some snow! afterall your skin doesn't wrinkle as much if you live in cold weather! ;)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really,,make sure you book a hotel close to the school,,sometimes there is traffic in the area around the campus!

What are your general comments?

very friendly staff,,the timing of the interviews were extremely well organized, you won't feel exhausted after the interviews,,believe me! i was interviewed by a professor, 2 pharmacy students and also had a group interview along with 7 other applicants + the essay of course! it all went very smoothly! UCSF was my first choice,,after making me wait for two painful months they rejected me,,,univ Maryland was my second choice and they sent me the acceptance letter one week after my interview,,,i am veryyy excited!
