What impressed you positively?

The weather of SoCal is nice, the students seem to have free time to have a life, and the campus is beautiful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I get an impression from my student and faculty interview that the school may not have the best teaching quality. When I asked about it, my student interview gave an ambiguous answer like, "There are prof that I like and prof that I don't like, same as every school." But I didn't sit in to their class, so I can't really say for sure.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the student interview would be during lunch and it would not be the easiest to eat and talk at the same time.

What are your general comments?

I got to the admissions office and waited for my two interviews. My student interviewer took me on a very short tour and we ate lunch while interviewing. I found that to be very difficult, answering questions, thinking, asking questions, and eating all at the same time. I then came back for my second interview. The faculty member was dozing off at certain point and I wasn't sure what to do. But later on we talked about health care and he became more excited. At the end, he seemed to have a good impression of me and said something like he wishes to see me next fall. Overall though, there is no organized tour, no admissions talk, and I didn't even get to meet many other interviewees. I did like the admissions office people a lot. They were very friendly and helpful!
