"I got to the Dept of Psychiatry (no nerves, there, right?) early in the morning and snuck in after a cleaning lady . Thankfully, other interviewees got there right after me. It started with a general introduction session in a conference room with the psychiatry faculty who were interviewing us and they also gave us overviews on the Davis experience and why it's better than other schools (bit of a turn off). Then there was a tour of the hospitals and new buildings in Sacramento, but I had to leave for Davis. My interviewer was nice, but he seemed rather distracted and, though the interview was conversational, it was also very traditional in questions and focus. Next was the medical student interview and we ended up getting into ethics discussions, which I enjoyed immensely. Then we went back to the conference room where I had interviewed and watched a informational movie and had a little wrap-up session." Report Response
