How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over interview feedback on this website.

What impressed you positively?

To go to school in Hawaii would be awesome.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was in a hotel room. There was not a lot of information about the school presented at the interview. It was kinda hard to gage how formal the interview wanted to be. The interviewer was a bit condescending.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was really odd being interviewed in a hotel room. If you have more money available I think it would be worth it to go out to the school for the interview.

What are your general comments?

It would be really cool to go to pharmacy school in Hawaii. I hear however, that the school fascilities are run down. It would also be expensive to go to the school and live on the island. Just something to think about.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
