How did you prepare for the interview?

I prepared by re-reading my personal statement and supplemental essays, reading up on current pharmacy topics, looking at practice interview questions I found on the web, and doing several mock interviews through Career Services.

What impressed you positively?

I was very impressed by how personal the day was. I felt like a person. I felt like, not only did they want to get to know me, but like they wanted me to get to know them (the college as a whole). Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The pharmacy students we met were excited and so willing to answer any questions we had. It was a GREAT day with very little stress! They try to make it as painless as possible.
