I have an interview the first friday of March. If you guys need any information on there I am an undergrad there and my gf is a first year so if I can help at all or you have questions about where to stay when coming please let me know and I'll be glad to help. Where else are you guys/gals looking at going or have interviews etc...
I interviewed at Miami, but haven't heard back so i can only assume bad things by that. I have an interview on Saturday at Samuel Merritt, George washington on Feb 5th and UOP march 4th. I have a friend who is a first year at uop and he was debating between western and uop last year but wanted to get out of southern cali. Good luck with your upcoming interviews and hearing back I am sure you'll fine the place for you.
The Western interview starts with all the applicants in a lecture hall and you're told about the program, financial aid, etc and they ask for a writing sample. Then they bring everyone to a classroom to sit and wait to be called for their individual interviews. The interview itself is you and two faculty members. Everyone was really nice. But make sure you're there ahead of your "interview time" because mine was 12:15 and they started talking to us as a group at noon, and they didn't start the actual interviews til 1:00 (some people didn't get to do theirs til as late as 3:00 but didn't know til they arrived).
At the time that I applied to UOP...
Cumulative GPA: 3.38
Pre-req GPA: 3.17?
GRE: 450 verbal, 580 quant, 4.5 aw
Observation Hours: 15 pediatrics, 40 acute care, 111 outpatient orthopedics
Extracurriculars: In my 2nd year as a Kinesiology Club officer, 1 semester as the student assistant in the Human Anatomy Lab

Where did you all stay during your interview? What hotel is the closest and nicest? Did you fly into sacramento? How long was the drive from there? Did you rent a car or just take a shuttle? Also, what did you all think of the area and living circumstances of UOP?
I'll send you a PM thanks!
If anyone has any suggestions, info for me, please post! I would appreciate it 🙂
