"My interiew expereince was awesome!!!! This was my first medical school interview so my nervousness level was though the roof!!!! Im glad that my interview was scheduled for the afternoon (most people have this itnerary) b/c it allowed me to cool down. When you get there in the monrning, you get a folder with your interiewers names! During lunch i went to Berk Hall computer lab on the second floor to look up info about my interviewers! VERY HELPFUL TO DO THIS! The whole interview day is geared toward making you feel relaxed. During lunch, the 1st and 2nd year medical students had a hot dog eating contest! Its was so funny to see them all out there! LoL! THEY REALLY ARE A TIGHT CLICK! Many of them sat down to have lunch with us. They all seem VERY happy. Anyhow, when i got to my actual interiews, they were soooooooooooooo laid back! My mock interviews where WAY more stressful than my actual one! Its was about 10hour long, but felt more like 5 min! You have a faculty interviewer, a student, and if you were applying to the PRIME-LC Program a spanish interiew for 30min. YOU DONT NOT HAVE TO BE FLUENT IN SPANISH TO APPLY FOR THIS PROGRAM! Anyhow, my faulty interview was chill. She was a lecturer in the dept. of family medicine and was working to integrate the humanities into medical education at UC Irvine. She was amazing! (Dr. Joanna Shapirio, google her name!) My student interview was outside on a bench! The day was beautiful (80 degrees). That interiew just like the fauclty one was SUPER chill! It truly was a laid back conversation about me, my passinos, my interests, & how they tie in to medicine. For those applying to the PRIME-LC Program make sure you seriously demomstrate your passion for working with the Latino community. They are VERY good about reading into who really wants to be in this prorgam and those that just want to use it for selfish reasons! If you desire to work with the latino commmunity APPLY to PRIME-LC! You dont have to be Latino! Just have a passion for sering this growing underserved community. Anyhow, the day finished off with a dinner for PRIME-LC applicants and a RADICAL lecture by Dr. Micheal Montoya about Lainto health issues. He really fires you up! If your reading this, please dont stress out! Irvine is a wonderful shcool! Its my first choice! Suerte!" Report Response
