How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, knew my file well, went to the hotel breakfast, made up my mind to enjoy the experience...after all, how many of these opportunities does one get in a life?!

What impressed you positively?

I loved the city of San Francisco. It's such an awesome place to be. And Dean H was great. He was so nice, honest, and reassuring. The school treated you very respectfully, and I liked that. The goal was not to intimidate us. And I loved the interviews being conducted in a group format.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Fly into the Oakland airport, instead of SFO, if you can. It's closer to Vallejo!

What are your general comments?

It was an awesome experience to meet other interviewees and to finally be taken seriously as a medical school student prospect. The school and interviewers are on your side--I promise they are not out to get you! If you get the interview, they are impressed with your file and you don't have to worry about "weaknesses" in your file.
