How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and read about the school on the website.

What impressed you positively?

Very casual atmosphere for being one of the best pharmacy schools. Also, even though it's in a very cold state, there are usually tunnels which allow you to walk to different parts of the campus so you don't have to go outside.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing because this has been my best interview experience so far.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I said the interview was closed file, but they do know something about you from the information on your supplemental application. Some interviewers choose to look at that, while others wait until the interview actually takes place.

What are your general comments?

This is the third ranked pharmacy school in the nation and based on what I've seen I have to agree.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None because everything was very organized and went great.
