What impressed you positively?
The Asst. Dean was super friendly, the campus was quaint, I liked the pharmacy building, the hospital next door has mcdonald's, chic-fil-a, blimpie, yum yum, and they give you a fun little package in a VCU Pharmacy bag! Oh, and they had a lounge with snacks and drinks.
What impressed you negatively?
No model pharmacy, in the student-alumna interview, the alumna was looking me up and down and they seemed...well, i just didn't get good vibes from them
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That you need to do 300 hrs of pharmacy work on your OWN time. blech.
What are your general comments?
I was so pleasantly surprised with VCU. I'd never been to Richmond, but the campus was so quaint and it's tucked in the corner of downtown so it's kinda in it's own little area. The asst. dean met me at the front door and then we had a brief intro to the school with a power-point. First was my student-faculty interview for 20 mins, 10 min break, student-alumni interview for 20 mins, 10 min break, 1 hr tour, break, and then 40 min to write the essay (If you were given undesirable hours b/c your coworker has kids, how would you handle the situation?)
