At the school

How did you prepare for the interview?

I just read interview feedback from this website and thought about my answers before so I would have some of my most positive experiences in mind right before the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The interview was with a student, a graduated pharmacist, and a faculty member. They were all very friendly and personable. I really enjoyed the interview.

What impressed you negatively?

The school of pharmacy building is really not very nice. It is old (1950's?)and a little run down. However, a new building is opening up in 2007. The current building just isn't very good for first impressions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The entire interview process was 90 minutes with an essay. The essay was writing about a time when you had to communicate under difficult circumstances.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was much less stressful than I imagined. They asked for 12 short answer questions to be answered and emailed before the interview so the interviewers had our answers before the interview. Some questions were directly related to your answers.
