What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"If your interview time is at the beginning and then you have to write your essay, take it to the Biomedical Library and write it in there. By the time you return to the room to write your essay, students who are still waiting for their interview and have finished their essays will be chatting. It is incredibly distracting!" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"This school is amazing. I had a very difficult time deciding between it and UCSF. You really can't go wrong, though! Also, I did terribly on the essay but did really well on the interview (that's why I gave myself 5/10), but they still accepted me, so don't stress out too much over the essay! Also, a vast majority of my questions came from my essays, so be sure to look over those!" Report Response
