How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at SDN questions, but also came up with my own. But, there really isn’t a great way to prepare. Know yourself and why you chose the field of pharmacy. Look up current events in pharmacy in case you want to strike a conversation with your interviewers. But honestly, I would glance over some questions and mostly focus on yourself and your journey to pharmacy school.

What impressed you positively?

Great location, right by the MAX, lots of nice food places in the area, very friendly, parking garage right across the street

What impressed you negatively?

Fairly small building and library

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Do not over stress and over-rehearse. Get plenty of sleep the night before.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers simply want to get to know you, they are not trying to tear you apart. Just be friendly and be yourself. ALWAYS email your interviewers later that day, thanking them for their time. This leaves a good impression and could potentially help you get that acceptance you’ve been waiting for.
