How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews with the career center, my advisor. Talked to previous students in the field. Relaxed and got good sleep. Made sure I had plenty of time to get ready.

What impressed you positively?

When you arrive there is a bunch of current Pharmacy strudents waiting to talk to you. TALK TO THEM! Dont just sit there to help you. They are really friendly and are there. Also before you do your interview you get a chance to talk to the dean who is really cool and helps make you laugh. He really calmed me down.

What impressed you negatively?

It has nothing to do with the school but I was just so surprised at how many students had already finished their undergrads. I was wondering if anyone just went to pharmacy school right out of college anymore.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Well it didnt really affect me but I think that you should not get there too early. I didnt know there was going to be interview sessions before and after me. So if you are there too early you get to see all those people cycle through and it will make you nervous and feel overwhelmed. I talked to this guy and he said he had seen three cycles before our interview and he was so nervous it was ridiculous.

What are your general comments?

The school is great people say it isn't worth the big name but I definetly disagree. Everyone was very warm and it made the experience enjoyable for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
