How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed my AMCAS, looked at UC's website, made a list of questions
What impressed you positively?
The faculty member giving us the talk about UC's curriculum was very funny, I enjoyed his talk.
What impressed you negatively?
I found the tour guide to be nice but less than enthusiastic. Also, my tour guide was the only student I spoke with. I didn't feel like I got as good a feel for the school, due to the limited contact with students. Also, the office people weren't very friendly...
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
UC is building a new addition to their current building, and the building looks really terrible right now - exposed wiring, etc etc. I'm sure it will be nice eventually, but it looks pretty dreary right now.
What are your general comments?
My UC experience was fine, but not thrilling. I didn't get a lot of enthusiasm from anyone about the school, which concerns me. The dean that talked with us at the beginning seemed rushed, the financial aid person didn't crack a smile once, the tour guide was nice but not enthusiastic....just not all that exciting. My interview was good, but I'm not sure if my interviewer had read my file, as there was no mention of anything that my personal statement discussed. My biggest criticism, however, was that I only spoke with one student.
