"The usual: I read over my UCSD secondary, AMCAS primary, and SDN feedback. I also read about the school on-line." Report Response
"The research facilities are amazing! UCSD and Scripps have some of the best research around. Also, you can't beat the year-round paradise weather of La Jolla. Also, UCSD is essentially beach front property. I also liked the student-run clinics." Report Response
"To be honest, the students seemed incredibly stressed there. Too much lecture time and H/P/F system make for unncessary competition. I am not sure, but at most of the other UC medical schools, the basic science years have a P/F currciculum only, but at SD, there is an honors option. Also, La Jolla is an incredibly pricey city!"

"There is a lot of lecture time and stressed-out students." Report Response
"UCSD is a great school with amazing research and primary care programs. I was definitely impressed by this during interview day. However, the curriculum at UCSD is still heavily lecture-based, and students seemingly spend most of their time in lecture (and, therefore, I saw many unhappy students there). Overall, interview day went well (even though there was an early 7:45 AM start time). Just relax and enjoy the weather...the interviewers are pretty laid back." Report Response
