"Why UCSF?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? (These are the general type of questions. There were a lot of other questions that branched off of the information I provided which there is no way to prepare for. Just be honest, concise, and logically sound.)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Questions were largely based on what information I gave - a sort of free association type interview - so it's hard to choose one." Report Response | I was asked this question too

"The students all seem very happy, the faculty has a sense of humor, the view is amazing from most of the buildings, the anatomy lab isn't in a stuffy basement (the cadavers were a little ripe when we were there though . . .)." Report Response
"The lecture hall is a little more cramped than I'd like. Other schools have more spacious seating in comparison." Report Response
"You may be shuttled to the other campuses for your interview and there is a lot of down time. Bring a book." Report Response
"I interviewed first with a student who was very friendly without a hint of arrogance or the like. We had a very conversational interview and there were plenty of opportunities for me to express what I wanted to about myself. My second interview was with a professor and she was also very pleasant. I found that as I explained my reasoning behind things she would question about my thought process and logic quite a bit. She seemed to be doing this both out of curiousity but also to gauge my thought process as well. In the end we talked a lot about literature and got into a nice conversation. She even drove me to BART so I wouldn't have to take the bus. =)" Report Response
