💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell us about yourself and how you became interested in pharmacy. They asked a lot about my personal experiences, but I recommend getting experience in a pharmacy because they asked a lot about that (ie. what do I think are downfalls of pharmacy, etc.)

What was the most interesting question?

Tell us about a drug that you have learned about (I had mentioned that I had learned about a ton of new drugs during my experience in the pharmacy).

What was the most difficult question?

They asked me what I thought about purchasing prescription medications from the internet/from Canada (which they took from my on-site essay question).

What are your general comments?

First the four of us candidates wrote an essay, then we had our interviews, and finally there was an optional tour. The interviewers seemed to be truly interested in each individual person. The interview was very conversational and they were very welcoming. I love this school! They have so many neat programs and seem to be a top rate school! All in all, I was very impressed with this school.
