How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over some SDN threads and basically just made sure I knew why I was getting into pharmacy.

What impressed you positively?

I was very impressed by my interviewers. They are affiliated with UT-Memphis but are distinguished separately from that.

What impressed you negatively?

Two of the people who were supposed to speak to us didn't show up.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Make sure you find a place to park the day before or at least bring cash to park in the deck. I found free parking near the school but only had 15 minutes to get to the interview after that.

What are your general comments?

UT-Memphis is an urban campus so don't go to this school expecting to see something that's not there. This school is right in the middle of Memphis and there are many opportunities to be had but someone expecting a traditional campus should be warned. I was prepared for this since my undergrad was very urban.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
