How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, look at UCSF website

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students were all happy and the campus has the most amazing view of the city. The small problem groups were also impressive (you can sit in on them if you want)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The facilites are sorta run down (the signs indicating the buildings are all missing letters and the buildings are obviously old).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how much time I would be on my own during the day. Also, the buildings are all connected and you can easily end up in the wrong building.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

UCSF is a pretty great school. The students all said that they loved it there and were very open to talking to you. After my first interview I sat in on a class and a nice student took me along with her to the problem session (which I recommend sitting in on). The views are amazing and you can't have a better reputation. If it weren't for the blind interviews and the sorta old facilities I would probably love the school even more.
