SDN
What impressed you positively?
The building
What impressed you negatively?
Everything but the building, but especially the written portion of the interview. Shouldn't PharmD applicants be literate?
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the population of Kingsville is under 26,000 (1/2 the size of the university I graduated from)
What are your general comments?
Having three people interview one applicant for thirty minutes will yield unsatisfactory results both all parties involved. It is cramped, uncomfortable, and more stressful than the interviews of pharmacy schools that are ranked in the top fifteen. The faculty running the day's activities mentioned at least ten times that the college is "accredited." After the fifth time this became embarrassing to listen to.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Reduce the number of interviewers to two rather than three
