How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, U of MN website, read over my application materials, read up on current pharmacy topics.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the staff and the fact that they are incredibly open, honest and forthcoming about the university. You're given every bit of information you may need to make a decision. I was treated like a person, not just another applicant or number. Beautiful area, nice facilities (in comparison to what I've had in undergrad so far). Students really look happy.

What impressed you negatively?

No negative impressions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interview would be more like a conversation about everything in my life rather than specific questions about pharmacy or why I want to be there.

What are your general comments?

Its a great day and I really enjoyed the process. You have ample opportunity to ask anyone possible questions and everyone is really honest and forthcoming with answers. No one tries to sugarcoat anything.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Better directions to faculty offices for interviews, or at least a heads-up that numbering doesn't m
