What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The optional early morning tour wasn't that beneficial. I would have rather slept in and taken a tour on my own a different day.

What are your general comments?

The early morning optional tour was led by a first year student who didn't really provide that much information about the school. They provided coffee, juice and muffins when we got back which was nice. There were about 40 applicants there...a large group. We all met in a lecture room where we remained through lunch time for information sessions and questions with second-year students. Lunch was provided and then the student interviewers met each of us for about an hour long interview. It was very relaxed...we met outside (the weather was gorgeous). Next some of us met a shuttle to go to the UCI Medical Center in Orange for our faculty interview (about 15 minutes away). The faculty interview lasted about 30 minutes. Overall, the day seemed really long.
