How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over SDN a little...wasn't very worried since this was interview 3 out of 7. Plus I alrady had an acceptance.

What impressed you positively?

The school is BEAUTIFUL! Also, did you know that Sarasota/Bradenton is listed as one of the top 10 safest places to live to avoid natural disasters? I read that in a Pharmacy Today magazine at work... Both of my interviewers were so nice. I spent a lot of time in the interview laughing & so did they.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much...I guess maybe the financial aid presentation during lunch. He wasn't very helpful.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Well, it rained kind of a lot. The Comfort Suites Hotel was very nice. There's a lot of construction and the "season" (when all the old people go south) is starting, so give yourself a little extra time to get there. I was also surprised that I knew some of the people in the interview group - I keep running into the same people at different schools.

What are your general comments?

Well, I was accepted, so I did something right. Basically, you go and check in with security, sit in a room with other students and listen to some basic presentations, interview, go on a tour with the librarian (he's somewhat entertaining), then another real tour with one of the ladies from admissions....then lunch (where you meet with some students), then the financial aid talk (in the lunchroom towards the end).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
