Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

People were much more laid-back than I thought they'd be since it is UCSF. Students seemed happy and the campus seems like there is always a lot going on. UCSF seem to open lots of doors for people doing cutting edge things in pharmacy.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The other interviewees seemed really stressed out and people we not as talkative as at other interviews. Some students complained about the strong emphasis on basic sciences being "way too much."

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Bring a coat. It's about 5-10 degrees colder at the campus than the rest of the city because it is on a hill.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

UCSF is awesome. The opportunities for clinical work, policy, and basic science research are built into their curriculum and the curriculum is constantly evolving if there is something you want to do. It was a much more mellow atmosphere than I had expected, though it does seem like people work very hard. It felt much more like a university campus than I had expected and that was a nice surprise. I can really see why it is the top pharmacy school in the nation.
