💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Everyone in my group had research experience. They asked us all what our research was about?
What was the most difficult question?
Seriously, my interview was so difficult. I had it bad :( The lady kept interrupting us and adding on additional questions: What would you do if a doctor prescribed a prescription that you know would cause adverse effects? What if the doctor disagreed? What if the doctor undermined your authority? Would you still fill the prescription?
What would you do if you were working in a group and a student wasn't doing his job? What if it was the same student every time?
What do you know about Obamacare and how will it affect the pharmacy work flow?

What impressed you positively?
The staff was friendly and helpful. The interview group was very small so you were able to get to know some of your fellow applicants. And the dean herself was there to answer our questions and present the campus.
What impressed you negatively?
The interviewer was so mean! She kept cutting people off in the middle of their answer to add another question and then move on to the next applicant. It was a very tense interview and all my fellow interviewees (?) definitely agreed that lady was cray.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That you don't meet at the School of Pharmacy office. You meet at the Faraday Inn which is all the way up the hill from the Pharmacy office. Wear comfortable shoes!
