How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Honestly, I didn't prepare for this interview. I've already done 2 interviews this semester, and I went with that information. However, I would recommend getting some information on Mercer itself, and making sure you know why you want to go there

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very approcable. The interviewer was very conversational.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities. I felt that the campus was not up to date. The auditoriums do not have video recording capabilities, only audio. The lab was also behind the times. For having 145 pharmacy students per class, the campus was not up to par.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Get ready to mingle with the administration.

What are your general comments?

The interviews themselves were good. I had a P4 student instead of a faculty member and a P3 student for my student interview. The P4 did a good job of conducting a faculty-type interview. The P3 student and I just sat around and talked about Pharmacy School in general. He occasionally threw in a few of those questions he was ''supposed'' to ask, but we pretty much just talked. The mingling session was entirely too short for what they wanted to happen. They want each student to talk to Dr. Bartley and Jordana. However, when you have 10 students trying to get as much time as possible with both individuals, it is difficult to get anything done, especially when there are current pharmacy students in there talking to you as well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
