"Most questions other than the ones I listed above generated themselves naturally through the conversation." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Most of the questions were very typical. What do you think is your most positive quality? Have you done any research? Tell me about those experiences. I was asked what I thought about the ending of a book, but I brought up that book in the conversation. My faculty interviewer was great, seemed more intent on convincing me to enter his branch of medicine than on evaluating me, and was very frank and down to earth about the stats of getting in (I guess about 1/2 of interviewees get in). At times I tried to interject information about myself but he rolled over me and kept talking! " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"I was asked "Why medicine?". I dislike that question because it is so broad, hard to answer without sounding cheesy, and it was asked in a closed file interview so the interviewer didnt know anything about me before and I had to explain everything." Report Response | I was asked this question too

"The campus is up on a hill so it has a great view of SF. Most of the students, though coming out of exams, nonetheless seemed fairly relaxed." Report Response
"The weather was rainy (typical for SF). The lunch was with two rather unenthusiastic students, and they did comment on how because this is a state school they don't throw as much money at you as a private would - not that opportunities aren't there, you just have to look a bit harder I guess." Report Response
"Parking was ridiculously expensive ($20 for the day at the nearby garage). If you plan on driving up, park somewhere else and take public transportation!" Report Response
