💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How do you feel about PBA being a Christian school and studying in a prayerful environment? Remember: PBA is a Christian school, and they are SO nice and not judgemental at all. (They didn't know if I was Christian until I told them).
Most of the questions were pretty general. Why PBA? Why pharmacy? Tell us about yourself?
What does it mean to be a servant-leader? I would highly recommend becoming familiar with the mission statements of all the schools you are interested in because not only is it important to know, but some schools (like PBA) take them very seriously and you need to know what they are all about.

What was the most interesting question?

How would your best friend describe you? Interesting... but more difficult than you might expect! All I could think of was how different all of my close friends are!

What was the most difficult question?

How would you feel about moving even farther away from your family? Only because I mentioned that I am close with my family and I currently live only 3 hours from them opposed to the 5 hours if I went to PBA.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't really prepare because I found out 2-3 days in advanced, but honestly you don't really need to prepare. I was just honest and tried not to be nervous.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and students are SO nice. You really feel like they want you to be there, not like you are bothering them or wasting their time.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much at all... they are a fairly new school, but that could go both ways. The facilities are nice and the area is beautiful (yes, there is a cemetary across the street but it's pretty!).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

1. the quiz is NOT hard 2. not to be nervous (even if faculty at other schools seemed mean to you... they won't be here = ]

What are your general comments?

I didn't have a chance to read any feedback before I interviewed, but I know that people really appreciate up to date information, so I hope that this helps someone else who might be nervous! I know I was! = ]

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
