Hi everybody
I'm having problems with UCSF, and it's leading me to have second thoughts on this whole deal. For those of you who are familiar with the UC system, maybe this is just the way things work, but for me it just seems that they can't get their act together.
For example, I was on pins and needles until two days before revisit weekend about getting a student host, because the admissions office only let me know two days before my departure. For somebody coming all the way across the country, this wasn't a good thing.
And what about financial aid? It took them two months to even look at my application, and then they tell me it's incomplete. When I finally get an estimate, it's pretty much all loans!!
I guess I'm comparing this to Duke, who really had their act together regarding how they handled their revisit weekend, financial aid, and admissions.
My question to you...would you regard the tardiness and disorganization of these offices as a premonition of what administrative life in the school is?? Especially since UCSF is going through a new curriculum next year...is this just a sign of things to come??
*sigh*
I'm quite confused right now. Any thoughts would be really appreciated...
