"UCI was my favorite interview of all the schools. Gayle was the sweetest person ever and they all made us feel comfortable. I thought I wouldn't enjoy the fact that 40 other students would be interviewing the same day but it ended up being really fun to meet everyone and go through the process together. Faculty and students are genuinely happy and excited to be there. " Report Response
"I did not like the fact that students had to drive to go from campus to hospital but then again, many other med schools do rotations at various hospitals during 3rd and 4th year so can't complain too much. There is also a shuttle so not too bad really. " Report Response
"Wear comfortable shoes! I found that there was a bit more walking involved at UCI than at my other interviews. " Report Response
"Best interview experience ever. Both student and faculty interviewers just wanted to get to know me and tell me more about the school. They were more human and normal than interviewers I met at the other schools. The whole atmosphere of the school was friendly and non-competitive which I really liked. Some students were unhappy about the general location of the school but I liked the relaxed environment of the area. Most of all, Gayle was just about the nicest person I have ever met.
