What impressed you positively?

how the current pharmacy students and the faculty were actively involved in this process

What impressed you negatively?

the location...and personally, I thought the whole emphasis on networking was too much for me...it seemed like they turned the pharmacy profession into business! (well, partly it is but I was looking for something more sincere...well, I mean this is LA so I guess that's how it is- no offense to LA people-I live in LA as well)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew what to expect so no surprises.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a very pleasant experience! The interviewers made me feel very comfortable so though I was very very nervous I was able to perform my best. I felt it was a little rushed but otherwise it was great! The whole emphasis on networking and communication though...I dunno, I don't really buy it.
