UC Berkeley’s Friday Visits give prospective students an opportunity to meet with an Admissions staff member, a short tour of our facilities, and the opportunity to shadow a Pre-Clinic course.

This is a great opportunity to have first hand experience in exploring the program and get advice from some student ambassadors and Admissions directors.
