"Read everything I could about the school and did some thinking on how I wanted to best present myself in a blind interview. Made a list of what I wanted to make sure the interviewer knew about me before I left." Report Response
"In the lecture we went to it didn't seem like there were enough seats - it was packed and many students were sitting on the floor and standing up in back. I like to learn while seated and relaxed." Report Response
"That attending UCSF, even as an in-stater, is only slightly less expensive than many private schools!" Report Response
"The day was awesome. First breakfast (which reminded me that bagels are not readily available in SF) then an info session with the new dean, who is very friendly and straightforward, telling us everything about the admissions process in detail. Attended a cool lecture, had a delicious lunch during which a 4th year student answered questions, a tour and then interviews. My first interviewer was incredibly relaxed and interested in getting to know me. Even when he asked tough questions (like the tax law one, haha) he wasn't trying to trick me, just genuinely wanted to hear my opinions on things. Well maybe that one question was trying to gauge my knowledge of current politics which I of course miserably failed at, but in general he was the warmest most enthusiastic guy. My second interviewer fell asleep a couple times and didn't really ask me anything interesting. His lack of good questions made me into a pretty boring person so I'm not surprised he was falling asleep. Besides that one part, I had a great day and absolutely loved the school, as I predicted I would. If I get in then I am headed out west!!!" Report Response
