How did you prepare for the interview?

I spoke with a few UCSF students, read extensively about the school from its website, re-read my AMCAS application, checked out this website, and did a practice interview with a friend. I think it was especially helpful to gain a good understanding of the recent curriculum changes, which are listed on the school's website.

The anatomy lab and library were amazing, with a view of the entire bay! I liked the student interviewer as well. Both interviews were very laid back and enjoyable. I felt a lot less nervous when I realized that neither interviewer was intending to be stern or to ask difficult questions.
