"This was my second time interviewing with them and the person who interviewed me was so much easier to talk to than the person before. It's all in the questions that they ask. The first time I interviewed, I felt like I didn't have a good chance to show them who I was." More from this Member | Report Response

"Awesome school. They really care about the success of their students." More from this Member | Report Response

"Good school as they are really important and incorporated into the Hawaii community. Just hoping inflation doesn't bury us pharm students in major debt." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was kind of weird having an interview in a hotel room and writing my essay just outside the room." More from this Member | Report Response

"overall, the interview is causal, as long as u know what your want to say about yourself and pharmacy, it should be fine." More from this Member | Report Response

"Be confident in your answers and give yourselves time to think before you answer. There is an essay question at the end of the interview and you get 30 minutes to write it. They don't give you much space to write so be concise. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Just relax, the interviewers are there to get to know you that all. They are not there to make things harder then it already is. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It would be really cool to go to pharmacy school in Hawaii. I hear however, that the school fascilities are run down. It would also be expensive to go to the school and live on the island. Just something to think about. " More from this Member | Report Response

"i had to wait almost an hour.... it was a long hour! however, when i met my interviewer,Dr. (forgot his name) was cool and laid back. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, it was good. I felt like it was kind of short because my interviewer talked a lot about his own background. Make sure you know your positive traits and mention all of them concisely with examples. Otherwise, you'll come out wishing you had said that in there." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview is good, nice and relax, i can feel that the school/prof. really want to get to know the applicants more, instead of challenging them/stress them out" More from this Member | Report Response

"Very casual...more like a conversation than anything. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Everything went pretty well, the interviewer was really friendly and wanted to get to know me. I also got to know him, his level of experience, research, etc ... all the questions were the usual: Why Univ of Hawaii, why pharmacy, and then some questions about teamwork." More from this Member | Report Response

"it was really hot there and i was uncomfortable/perspiring, but the interviewers are really nice and really want to get to know you" More from this Member | Report Response

"The environment was stressfree. The professors wanted to know you. They joke around and asked you off the topic questions. Be yourself, smile, be genuine and kind and you'll get in like me! =)" More from this Member | Report Response

"It was not very stressful at all. It was short and to the point. No wasted time. I went to San Francisco for it so i also got a nice trip out of it" More from this Member | Report Response
