What impressed you positively?

the education and experiences are unbeatable. First two years are done at UCLA campus and then rotations are at King County Hospital, where you get A LOT of hands on clinical learning. Very cool.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview day was unorganized and way too long. I arrived at 9am and sat in the waiting room until 1:30 pm, when my interviewer was finally ready for me. That was ridiculous. I didn't even get to go on a tour because all the groups had gone before I was done with my interview. Bad timing, bad sheduling. Furthermore, by the time my interviewer got to me she was exhausted, as i was her fourth and last interview of the day- she didn't seem very excited about the situation- or me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What a long and uninteresting day it was going to be.

What are your general comments?

the interview itself went ok, but the interview day was a waste of time.
