What impressed you positively?

"Everyone is really lax and helpful. The area is awesome, but I knew this because I went to undergrad there. Students are competitive with themselves but not with their class, as there is a lot of note sharing and so forth. Students have the highest board scores of any UC (I didn't know that, it certainly surprised me)." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The lounge is pretty boring. Uhm, not much else. I guess the school doesn't have the name of UCLA, SD, or SF, but it's certainly a great place to be. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"50% of the interviewees are accepted, and the first few interview groups have substantially higher percents (with the last few groups having the lowest percents). So pretty much, if you have an early interview, you have a GREAT chance of being accepted. Also, they have you fill out a housing request form, which is a bit awkward because I never thought about where I wanted to live. Wish I had known that one..." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The student interviews are SO lax. Everyone interviews outside on the benches, which is a microcosm of how lax the school is. The faculty interview was great too, no pressure at all. They really treat you well, and emphasize that they would love for you to attend the school. This is definitely the least pressured interview, and my other interviews weren't pressured at all. I might has well have been sitting on the beach, it was THAT chill." Report Response
