What are your general comments?
The interview started out at the clinic where you meet the dean. He is a very nice gentleman who later takes you out to lunch and shows you the tour of the school after the interview. Before lunch, you shadow a couple students in the clinic for an hour or two and then you have an interview with the physicians. After the interview, a taxi takes you to the actual school where you have lunch. It ends with the tour. The whole interview experience took 8 hours.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, online
What impressed you positively?
The clinicals seems very strong. There is very early exposure.
What impressed you negatively?
Same day acceptance. The northern california traffic is just horrible. If you are new to this area, take a taxi.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
A taxi would be very convient since there are a lot of one way roads and it's hard to get to places if you do not know the area that well. It is a group interview as well with other interviewees.
