"I reviewed my AMCAS, Davis secondary, UCD SOM website, common interview questions list from my advisor. I also read all the questions listed on this site asked previously." Report Response
"The students seemed very mellow and happy. Everyone was very nice and enthusiastic, especially about the free clinics they run. It seems there are great clinical opportunities at UCD." Report Response
"Some of us only got 1 interview because they didn't have enough students to do the student interviews. I also did not get a tour of the Sacramento facilities, just the hospital I had my interview in." Report Response
"There is potential for a lot of down time if you do have 2 interviews and one is later in the afternoon. Having a car makes the commute b/w Davis and Sacramento much easier." Report Response
"It was a very mellow interview, really just a conversation to get to know you. It seems the questions are used over and over. If you read all the feedback on this site and get familiar with the questions, you should be fine. Overall, it was a very good day and confirmed that Davis is my top choice due to its community medicine emphasis." Report Response
