"the sense of comradery among students, and how the school doesnt emphasize competition but rather teamwork. The students dont know their class rank until they graduate. Also, in their lab, each day two student from a group of six learn everything, teach it to the other four, the other four get tested, and all six get the grade of the other four. Therefore you have to teach others well if you want a good grade...really different from the competitive nature of the UC system" Report Response

"I had two interviews. I was not nervous at all, but for some reason I didnt have that good of a feeling about it afterwards. My interviewer kept harping on the issue of healthcare and how much the system sucks, and wanted me to come up with a solution. In the end he says "well there really is none." He also went over my AMCAS, almost as if it were in bullet format, and wanted specific dates for stuff. I felt very tested, so READ OVER YOUR APP before you go. My second interview was very low key and short. He basically asked me if I had any questions for him." Report Response
