What are your general comments?

UCSF is a great school. The program is excellent and the cost is pretty low. But the admissions process was very dissapointing. We were told that seats were still available and not to worry, but a few weeks later i got a letter saying that my application had been suspended because all the spots were full. The whole interview and admissions process was disorganized and reflects poorly on the school.
