What are your general comments?
UMB left me with the impression that it was the place for me. Everything was well organized and scheduled to get out on time. The interview is four hours long containing an essay, a tour, a group panel interview, a student inteview, and an interview with a professor. From what I researched, the essay is basically a tool the school uses to see that you can communicate effectively. You do not need a prize winning essay, just make sure your thoughts are clear when writing. I enjoyed all my interviews and the student tour guides and interviewers made me feel comfortable. My advice is to just be yourself.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What is the greatest sacrifice that you would have to make to go the school of pharmacy?
What was the most interesting question?
Check the other interview reviews. It seemed it was all the same.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN! I also researched other pharmacy school interview pages for questions (ethics) that could come up. I also practiced possible essay topics for the essay section.
What was the most difficult question?
Check the other interview reviews. It seemed it was all the same.
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was really friendly. It seemed that they had purposely planned my interviews because I was matched with interviewers that could answer questions pertaining to my interests and the type of pharmacy classes that I would like to take at UMB.
What impressed you negatively?
The only thing that I did not like about the school is that they have Blackboard to manage each class. All my classes that had Blackboard were such a mess.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
No, as I said before, check all the interview reviews and some possible ethics questions and you should be fine.
