How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback questions - these were right-on and very good practice ... I reviewed using these questions the night before and the morning of ... Then the next morning, had a good breakfast, gave myself plenty of time to get to the University on-time, and took the long way from the parking lot - the walk helped me calm down a lot because I was soooo nervous!

What impressed you positively?

The staff was very friendly and they sincerely wanted you to succeed --- the teachers were great too - very encouraging ...

What impressed you negatively?

The school itself was a pretty decent size and the medical center right on campus was impressive - but the pharmacy part of it was ... cozy :) ... they share a building with the nursing department ... they are a pretty new program though so class size is small and manageable - good thing b/c you can really get to know your teachers and they can really help you if you need their help ...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There weren't a lot of surprises ... I'm Seventh-Day Adventist so all their &quot;rules&quot; weren't a surprise at all ... so ... no surprises ... it was all good ...

What are your general comments?

Great school! I'm especially positive because I got my acceptance news over the phone &amp; by email the very NEXT DAY - their admin staff is AWESOME ... and i had some questions to ask them and they were all so friendly and accomodating ... definitely a very professional atmosphere ... again, GREAT RESPONSE TIME - they let you know right away what your interview results are ...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
