What impressed you positively?

The interviewers tried their hardest to put you at ease. The student tourguides were extremely friendly. The environment of UCSF was also extremely friendly. The view was spectacular.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that there is no campus, just a bunch of buildings.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Both interviewers just said in the beginning, "what do you have to tell me?" and I was stunned. I thought they were going to actually ask questions, but I was able to tell them the stories of my life and what not.

What are your general comments?

Great! It made me want to go to UCSF even more.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
