•I arrived in the morning and met some other fellow interviewees...
Went and sat in on a first year lecture and then went and sat in on half of one of the smaller case based sessions. Highly recommend doing that if you can.
Then we were taken to the cafeteria by two fourth years and chatted for about 45 minutes or so, mostly about the clerkships and residency matching.
Around noon, we were taken on a tour by two first years. Saw the anatomy lab, library, gym, facilities, lecture halls, etc..This lasted about an hour.
My first interview was at 2:00 and went for an hour and a half, as did my second one (second year med student interviewer) which started at 4:00.
It was a long day, but it was really enjoyable. Out of the schools I have interviewed at, UCSF was the most impressive all around. The students were chill, the lecturer was funny and articulate (a rare combination), the library is cush, and the gym is hooked up, and oh yes the lounge isn't bad either.
The interviews are closed file. All they know is your name so be prepared to lead the interview. Lots of character probing, background questions, etc..conversational but also thorough.
I'm a bit biased b/c I've had a medical school crush on this school for years, but I am sure you will enjoy your day. Just relax.•••••
