studentdoctor.net, UCI website, my application

What impressed you positively?

The campus and facilities...it's gorgeous! How friendly everyone, staff and students, were.

What impressed you negatively?

The day was really long, and it's nerve wracking having the interviews at the very end.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The tour at 8 AM is optional and isn't really worth it.

What are your general comments?

They talked at us for hours in the morning about housing, financial aid, etc etc. It was a little long. Then we had lunch, an interview with a student, and a faculty interview in the afternoon. It's a long day, but everyone is really nice and there's no stress at all.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
