How did you prepare for the interview?
Read about Temple College of Pharmacy and basically information about pharmacy school. Looked at my resume and my chemistry research. Read numerous pre-med books about interviewing.
What impressed you positively?
The interviewer has a very extroverted personality and she obviously enjoys pharmacy. I also have happen to meet her in two pre-pharmacy workshops so I know who she is. She wasn't intimidating but very friendly.
What impressed you negatively?
Having one person inteview 5 people is not really an interview. She basically ask everyone three questions and did a lot of talking about the pharmacy curriculum and basically pharmacy in general.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wished I practiced my interviewing skills. Even though the interview wasn't as bad as I thought, I still stutter a little bit.
What are your general comments?
I wished I had a little more time to finished writing my essay. I at least wanted to have three paragraphs. Also, I was dissapointed with the structure of the interview. Most of the time spent was just asking her questions. While the interview was not very difficult, I did not get to talk more about myself as to why I wanted to get into pharmacy, my current Chemistry undergrad research or about my personal background.
