Applicants commonly prepared for the interview by creating flashcards of common questions, researching the school through various sources such as websites and books, and seeking advice from current students or professionals. This approach helped them feel more confident and knowledgeable during the interview process.
I made a flashcard deck of questions and went through them for 30 minutes before the interview started.
Applicants were overwhelmingly impressed by the friendliness and approachability of the interviewers, particularly in creating a relaxed and conversational atmosphere. Additionally, many applicants specifically mentioned positive interactions with individuals such as Tracy, and found the school's environment both welcoming and informative during their tour.
Both of the interviewers were SUPER nice! At the start, they basically both told me that this was more of a conversation, and it would be pretty laid back. This instantly made me less nervous/anxious!
Applicants commonly expressed dissatisfaction with poor transportation services, such as delayed shuttles, impacting their experience negatively. Suggestions included improving efficiency and reliability of transportation services to enhance overall customer satisfaction.
Applicants commonly wish they had known the full duration of the interview day, including additional activities and potential waiting time, as well as the overall friendliness of the faculty. They recommend being prepared for a longer time commitment and to anticipate a positive and welcoming environment with faculty members.
I wish I had known that you have to have about 4-4.5 hours because there's a lot of other "activities" -- student alumni, financial aid, faculty Q&A, etc.
Applicants commonly mentioned the importance of being prepared, knowing their academic background, having a clear reason for wanting to attend pharmacy school, and asking questions during the interview.

Just be prepared as usual, know yourself and your academic background. Understand clearly why you want to go to pharmacy school, and remember to ASK QUESTIONS at the end. At least a couple.
It was great. I like it. It was not stressful. They gave me confidence. The scholl is very clean. They have a lot of facilities. They seek to promote intellectual, moral and educational growth.
