"Overall, it was a very good day and experience. My interviewer, Dr Faith Fitzgerald was awesome, we had so much to talk about. Although none of the dilemma/etnical questions I spent days reading about was asked beside the difficult question. She really asked deeper/probing question to get to the bottom of why medicine question. I was prepared so am glad. by the way, lunch is provided, very nice variety of food at the davis campus cafeteria" Report Response
