What are your general comments?
I like the location of Midwestern; I like that it is small and TEACHING focused (although, research is fun too). Everyone was laid back and friendly. I played ping-pong in the cafeteria during lunch. So overall, it was a great day :)
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why pharmacy? Why Midwestern? What would you do if you didn't get accepted to Midwestern?
What was the most interesting question?
Describe an ethical situation in which you have took part in, and tell us how you handled it.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview with a Life Science professor; www.StudentDoctor.net; Midwestern's website
What was the most difficult question?
Honestly, nothing was difficult. The interviewers started general (tell us about yourself, etc.), and took it from there. The questions were only as difficult as I led them up to be.
What impressed you positively?
They sent me a DVD of the school and a few of the students! That was such a pleasant surprise. Breakfast, lunch (I like food :), as well as how friendly everyone was: the interviewers, the administrative staff, the other interviewees...was also impressive. The tour was nice as well. And I couldn't complain about the quick response...I received my letter of acceptance in two weeks!
What impressed you negatively?
After lunch, I felt a little burnt out and ready to go. The excitement of the interview was over, but we still had the Dean's welcome and a financial aid presentation. Although both of these were necessary and very informative, it would have been nice to have the presentations earlier in the day.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It's NOT THAT BAD! Really. I was SO nervous...but after a few minutes into the interview, life was good. It was a really relaxing and enjoyable day.
