Summary of Application Experience
Applies to right around 20 schools, got around 13 II, went on 6 and got accepted to 4. I am slowly updating my schools list. Also, my MCAT did not have a writing score but I couldn't figure out how to create my profile without inputing one.
Summary of Experience:
Already had acceptances and could not afford to fly out to this interview. Out of all of the II's i turned down, this one hurt the most for some reason.
Summary of Experience:
My interview at UC Irvine was an OK experience (more bad than good). The students were generally friendly, and the faculty for the PRIME program were extremely welcoming.
Summary of Experience:
Of the interviews I attended, UCSD was actually the least impressive. The students were friendly, and the faculty were OK. They broke the interviewees up into two groups which did their MMIs at different times. The problem with this was that USCD did not have anything planned for the groups during their down time (non-MMI time), so most interviewees just went to the coffee shop or sat around at a table for more than an hour while we waited for our turn.
Summary of Experience:
UC Davis provided an excellent experience during interview day. They were friendly, seemed like they genuinely wanted you to attend their school, and the MMI was much less stressful than what I had anticipated. This was my first med school interview and Davis left a good impression.
