No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I actually "studied" for the interview. I typed out the answer, listened to myself on tape, pulled out all the possible questions and read the important news (you don't have to know them all)

What impressed you positively?

My first interview and my only. It was very very very formal. And I guess that kind of pressure really challenged me to do good.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. UCSF is the best school. Everybody was so friendly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The wait. You don't have to be there a head of time. I started 3 hours after my appointment time, and Iwas there 2 hours before my appt time. So it was 5 hours doing nothing.

What are your general comments?

This is my first and only interview. The school campus, the students, and everybody really impressed me. After going there, I really wanted to go to UCSF.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
