What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Prepare hard copies of transcripts to mail into Noemi. Have the schools send them in. If it won't arrive in time, you can bring sealed copies for Noemi to confirm the pre-req courses with. However, the "transcript review" isn't as scary as it sounds. No mention of grades. Strictly to see if pre req courses have been taken." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"During the interview, you know that UCLA is on top of it. Great faculty. Great students. You can only set yourself up to succeed by attending this school. My interviewer asked me so many times how I felt I would manage high stress that I felt as though attending UCLA would mean giving up a well-rounded life for at least 4 years. For some, that's doable. No problem. Small price to pay for success.For others, perhaps it just isn't...due to family constraints or otherwise. This was something I needed to heavily consider when making my decision." Report Response
