THE TODAY OF MY YESTERDAY.

Name and location: Founded in 1864 as Toland Medical College, the school joined the University of California in 1873, and in 1898, moved to its present Parnassus Heights campus. The first UC hospital opened here in 1907, eventually growing into Moffitt-Long Hospitals and later Benioff Children’s Hospital. These facilities, together with Mount Zion Hospital, now comprise the UCSF Medical Center.

UCSF faculty have also treated patients and trained students at Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center since 1873 and at the San Francisco VA Medical Center for over 50 years. UCSF is affiliated with a number of other hospitals in the Bay Area and Fresno, including Children’s Hospital Oakland.

In 2015, the UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay opened the doors of three co-joined hospitals focused on caring for women, children and cancer patients.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: • A minimum of a bachelor's degree (BA/BS) or the equivalent from an accredited institution is required.

• To be eligible for admission, you must have at least a 3.0 (B) grade point average.

• You may apply to only one graduate program.

• Upon completion of the application and receipt of the application fee ($105 for US citizens and permanent residents, and $125 for international applicants), or – alternatively – once the application fee waiver application has been approved, an admission file is established by the Graduate Division. (See more information on fee waivers.) All supporting documents, e.g. transcripts and letters of recommendation, are sent directly to the individual graduate programs. Please be sure to read carefully the instructions in the online application for the program to which you are applying. Some programs may require you to submit additional documentation, and program contacts and mailing addresses differ. Graduate programs will retain a copy of your official transcripts and will forward the originals to the Graduate Division.

• When an application is complete and the application fee has been paid or waived, the graduate program’s admission committee makes a recommendation to the Graduate Division for admission or denial. Final authority to admit or deny admission resides with the dean of the Graduate Division. The dean will not admit a student without the concurrence of the faculty of a graduate program; however, the dean may deny admission even if acceptance is recommended by the committee.

• Once the graduate program and graduate dean have made their admission recommendations, the Graduate Division sends a notice to the applicant via email. Applicants may then log into their online application account to view their admission status. They will also be able to view or print an official Graduate Division letter of admission (or denial of admission), signed by the dean of the Graduate Division. If offered admission, applicants will also indicate their intention to accept or not accept admission via the online application system.

• All students are required to submit documentation of immunizations and complete a tuberculosis screening questionnaire. For more details on the requirements visit the Student Health and Counseling Service website.

• Admission to an intercampus joint degree program requires approval by the deans and faculty of both campuses.

• The Graduate Division does not admit students to non-degree or unclassified status for the purpose of course work only. Students must apply for a specific degree offered at UCSF and may only apply to one graduate program.

• UCSF welcomes applications for admission from undocumented individuals, such as those who qualify under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and/or AB540. Please visit the website of the UC Office of the President (UCOP) for more information.

Financial Aid

The mission of our financial aid program is to help students marshal the resources they will need to attend the UCSF School of Medicine. In other words, we're here to help. In 2015-2016, 88 percent of our students received some form of financial aid.

 Would you like to attend here? Why? Why not?

I think that I wouldn't want to attend her because the jobs are not in the least of my interests and I just don't like the amount of years that it takes t be able to graduate from one of these type of medical careers.
