What was the most interesting question?

Most questions were elaborations of the UCLA secondary. The secondary basically looks for significant volunteer, leadership and/or research experience. The goal of the interview was to give me an opportunity to express a passion for medicine by describing these activities at a greater length.

What impressed you positively?

I love the campus and the med school curriculum. students aren't in class 9-5 as in some other schools (ie UCSD). Schedule varies MonFri and TuWedTh. strong emphasis on primary care and clinical experience

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that there are morning interviews! by reading this website ahead of time, i planned for an afternoon interview. however, i got there at 10:45, interviewed at 11, had tour at 12 and was ready to leave. if you happen to have an afternoon interview, take some time to walk around or find a nice bench on campus to read. it's a gorgeous campus. you will get a voucher for lunch worth $5. There are at least 2 bus lines that can get you to UCLA--lines 2 and 3 of the Big Blue Bus...it beats looking for parking and buses come regularly (15-20 min)
