How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked through SDN and talked to a pharmacists who is a ucsd alumni.

What impressed you positively?

The friendly attitude that the interviewers took on. The many students that came out to answer any questions you had.

What impressed you negatively?

The organization of the interview was a bit off. I came for a 12 o clock interview, but after a one hour orientation, I had to wait until 3:15 for my interview...it was a bit restless.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have a lot of time to prep in between the orientation and my interview. I would've brought something to entertain myself.
