No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview

What impressed you positively?

The pharmacy building was right in the middle of campus

What impressed you negatively?

They basically told me I had no chance because I was an out of state resident, there was no tour of the pharmacy building, the group interview in which I had no chance to talk, the question and answer with the current students was them just drilling us on more interview questions

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They guarentee 50 spots to Idaho residents and so there are only 10 spots for out of state residents.

What are your general comments?

There was tons of downtime. I kept leaving and coming back and it was a huge pain. I wish they would have just scheduled everything that was required right away in the morning and then the optional things if you wanted to stick around. The case study and group interview was not set up right. I never even got a chance to talk since I was the only girl and got over powered by the guys. I would have also brought my own dictionary if I would have known we were all going to be sharing one.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
