"The faculty at UCSD is incredibly impressive. They are all practicing pharmacists while teaching and doing research. There are so many opportunities at this school and if you go for an interview they share a lot about their faculty which is fun to learn about." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The campus tour was not as informative as I would have liked. All of the buildings were closed since it was the weekend. But, since we were having an interview day I would have thought that they would open them so we could see/experience spaces that we would take classes or study in. Additionally, the students did not point me into the direction of information which could be improved. Instead they would just say they do not know - but not point me towards someone who does know."
