  • the questions are as follows based on november 2015. What would you do if you get a teacher that teaches you differently then another, tell me sometime that you had seen stereotype and at the end he ask how to solve, an experiment done in class and requires 20 tube to be done correctly.your friend misses up 3 of them would you give him yours., if you were running for presidency and the other person loses against you what you will do about it to make it work out for both of you, the associate dean will ask you these 3 questions. what is your pcat, gpa and why campbell or why pharmacy. it was 5 short 5 min interview style interview. My general advise is dont talk too much. and remember that you want to concentrate too much with the associate dean cause he is the one that will make you get in or not. speak politely and to the question dont add more. they use problem solve type of question all the time. if they ask you give example give them something that you will be able to solve. wish you all good luck
  • Overall, great experience.
  • They take the comments on the exit interview serious. They're constantly trying to make the process more comfortable for the interviewees. They included the bio of the interviewers in the folder. Very helpful.
  • Great interviewing experience overall!
  • They tried the group interview like many schools now, but only asked one question to each of us during this. We also had 2-on-1 interviews so we were interviewed twice that day.
