Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Interview was really laid back. It just seemed like my interviewer wanted to know me as a person, not as an applicant. He showed me his evaluation form and told me that I was going to be scored on 6 "dimensions," and then we just talked for 45 minutes.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I wish he had asked more pharmacy related questions. How will he know whether I'm motivated for the profession if he doesn't ask me?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would take a month before decisions are made!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I like the school, and hope I am accepted. The interviews are not really open-file because interviewers have most of your information, but they do not know your grades or PCAT scores, and they have not seen your letters of recommendation.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. They do a good job, in my opinion.
