Everyone were friendly and sincere. They implement a family environment between the students and the faculty. Great place to study, the library looks great it´s right beside the pharmacy building. Pharmacy school history is since 1920´s. Their NAPLEX pass rate is 100% for 2007. The emphasis in pharmaceutical experience (experiential program). They have electives as well. Housing is cheap.

What are your general comments?

Interview @ Corvallis. They suggested to come 30 mins before 8:30. They don´t offer free breakfast since the whole interview day is really quick. But you will get so much information. Around 9:30 you will get to interview the pharmacy students. Then you will meet the faculty who will most likely interview you. By 10-11 am You will be then divided in half. 1st half will have interview while other half will write an essay. Then you´re done. I suggest that if you are out-of-state to come the day before the interview and explore the campus. There´s 2 airport one in Portland and in Eugene. Portland is 90 mins away from Corvallis while Eugene is only 40 mins away. I took Eugene Airport where you can either rent a car or take a shuttle (www.omnishuttle.com).
