I didn't even apply to UCSF, by the way, because I mean, I was not in California when I was applying to medical school. I was told it was such a great medical school that I was like, there's no way I'm going to get in as a non-Californian. So I didn't even apply.

I'm sure that you must deserve some of the credit for that. I don't think it's just that a bunch of people in the Bay Area came into money at that period of time. What was the approach you took towards philanthropy and how did you reach donors that maybe previously hadn't been involved in UCSF? Because again, one of the things that's working against you is you don't have an undergraduate.

So Stanford has a big advantage over you in which you've got a lot of people that are coming through doing engineering degrees, doing CS degrees who are going on to create enormous enterprises. Anyone who's an alum of UCSF went to graduate school there. There's no business school. There's no law school. So you're missing out on a lot of this.
