Tell us about yourself!
What are some problems facing pharmacy and patients given the current economic situation?
Why MWU CCP?

What was the most interesting question?

The 3rd question, the others were general.

What was the most difficult question?

I don't believe any were difficult however, I don't believe that being in a group with 5 other students gives sufficient time to express who you really are. This is especially true if you are in a group where 2 out of the 6 ramble on for the majority of the time.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews, SDN, writing out possible questions and answering them as you would in the interview listing the most important ones first so you don't forget them.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was exceptionally nice and made you feel welcome! The admissions staff was extremely friendly and the Dean was tremendously personable!

What impressed you negatively?

The number of students per group interview, it was almost like you would have to be disrespectful of others in order to make sure you weren't the last one in the group to speak. I just didn't feel like there was enough time to truely express yourself as a person in order for them to get to know you personally.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I felt the interviewers could have interacted a little more. They just sat there expressionless after they opened up the floor for everyone to answer their question! Also they could have made the group style interview more of a discussion than a cut throat, free for all. You don't really get to know someone in this manner!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
