"The people. Don't underestimate this when choosing a school. Med school is hard and having classmates & faculty that have you back is HUGE. Also, the ultrasound curriculum is a huge bonus. Faculty very accessible and responsive to student feedback. Students consistently outperform national averages on the boards across every subject category. Graduates match well. Tons of opportunities for research, global health involvement, leadership, electives, additional degrees (MPH, MBA, etc)."
"prepared me well for Step 1, residents/attendings enjoy teaching students that work hard"
"The environment. There are plenty of opportunities to make medical school exactly what you want (which is probably true at many schools). If you want to study all the time and honor everything you can. If you want to have a personal life and pass and still do ok in the match, you can. If you want to be involved in the community, a specific cause or just stay in excellent shape - you can do that too."
"Distance between the campus (MS1/MS2) and med center (MS3/MS4). Not a huge deal, as long as you're not trying to drive from Irvine to Orange at 5pm."
"distance between med school and hospital"
"Med school is hard. Period. Some of the first and second year professors STINK, because they are PhDs that don't get the medicine and they don't care that much. Its unfortunate, but also probably true at every school. Depending on your study style this may be very frustrating for you. But we also have some incredible award winning teachers (anatomy, physiology, pathology). Again, no school has an awesome teacher for everything. Overall the curriculum and teaching is above average from speaking to other students at other schools and I wish I had put more faith in the curriculum for teaching me what I needed to know."

"NOT frequently. Sometimes for labs or when a special speaker comes in."
"very frequently"
"Very rarely. There are a few small group discussions first year that have sign ins (literally like 4). Other than that you are supposed to go to at least 80% of class but many people who learn better on their own do not attend at all."

"Never lived there"
"Cost is 500-1000 depending on what you get. They are graduate apartments but the 1 bdrms are almost impossible to get. 2/3 bdrm apartments are pretty available if you wait/harrass the housing office."

"Descent. Some better than others."
"varies, in general they care about teaching and do a good job. there are some very poor lecturers and some very excellent lecturers"
"We have some incredible professors. We also have some poor ones. It varies as I'm sure it does with every school. Overall I'm very pleased with the faculty here."
"Great."
"very helpful. the harder you work, the more they'll invest in you"
"Faculty in clinical years are generally incredible. As all schools we have a few who are less interested in teaching. But I'd say 90% of the clinical faculty love med students and love teaching and will really TEACH YOU. They are extremely approachable and are eager to help students acheive."
"For me it was P/F for MS1 and H/P/F for MS2. Not sure if they've changed it since."
"h/pf"
"H, P, F - percentages not kept. A 100% honors looks the same as a 90% honors and an 70% pass looks the same as an 89% pass when it comes time to write dean's letters and rank. This is a great system - those who want to do something competitive can work their butts off and get their honors, and the rest of us enjoy the generally non-competitive atmosphere"
"H/P/F"
"h/p/f. class ranking is top 10%, middle 85%, and bottom 5%"
"H, P, F - percentages not kept. A 100% honors looks the same as a 90% honors and an 70% pass looks the same as an 89% pass when it comes time to write dean's letters and rank.

"Internal Medicine (8 weeks), Surgery (8 weeks), OB/Gyn (6 weeks), Psychiatry (6 weeks), Pediatrics (6 weeks), Family Medicine (4 weeks), Ambulatory Medicine (4 weeks), Neurology (4 weeks), Vacation (6 weeks)"
"3rd year - everyone takes the same 6 things. Schedules are just given out in the middle of third year. While people can switch for weddings, etc we do not choose the order of the schedule. Required rotations include: OB/gyn-8wks, Internal medicine-8wks, Family medicine/ambulatory medicine-8wks, Psychiatry-6wks, Pediatrics-8wks, Surgery-8wks. There is changing though, I believe neuro and radiology are going to be included as well. As of now there is 6 wks of vacation time to enjoy yourself or take electives and shorten your 4th year. 4th year - Only required rotations are a Sub I (family, med, surg, peds), ICU (surg, med, peds), substance abuse, and emergency medicine. Then you do 20 or so weeks of electives (they are in the process of changing it). Signing up is complicated with a lottery but I've never heard anyone say they couldn't get what they needed/wanted."
"More diverse than you would think (not all patients are typical OC fancy people- most of those go to Hoag). Good amount of Spanish-speaking patients"
"Very diverse which is great. Lots of male veterans at Long Beach VA. UCI has a very diverse patient population with a variety of ethnicities/languages and both insured and uninsured patients."
