💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN feedback and went over some questions I thought might be asked.
What impressed you positively?
The building is brand new and very modern and clean! Same with the newly built residence halls next door.
What impressed you negatively?
Students said there really isnt't too much to do in Worcester, the dress code is very strict- no jeans, flip-flops, shorts, etc. and you have to wear your white coat to every single class, and there are no pharmacy clubs/organizations for students to get involved in.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That they really don't like it if you take pre-reqs at a community college (I took Physics I and Calculus I and I got the impression that they won't transfer my Calculus class over)
