⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Great! There's a few negative points about the school, but I really liked the attitude of the faculty and staff, and that to me is important. All the interviewers were only 5-10 years older than me (i'm 19), so that was cool. The questions during the interview were basic, and they told us beforehand nobody was going to try to trick us or catch us on any questions. Then I did the essay, but they only wanted a paragraph or two. They gave us a packet of financial aid forms at the end....thanks, i'll need em!

What impressed you positively?

Admissions staff were really friendly and laid back. They made everyone feel at ease about the interview and the whole process in general.

What impressed you negatively?

Pharmacy school doesn't have its own building. They're tearing the dorm down after this year. To get to class, you have to park a few miles away and take a shuttle bus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How many people would be there! I walked into a room full of between 40 and 50 applicants. Half of us did the essay while half of us were interviewed, and then vice versa.
