Overall, this is my number one pick just based on location, (DC is a nice city) however because of the lack of technology and disorganized process I am starting to reconsider.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why pharmacy? Why Howard? If a friend was cheating, what would you do?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed basic derivatives.
What was the most difficult question?
What qualities do you have that would make you successful in the program? They basically want you to brag about yourself, which I am not good at doing.
What impressed you positively?
Location.
What impressed you negatively?
The school is old and looks it. Some construction. Not very technologically advanced. Budget cuts have caused them to be short staffed in offices so responses are slow. We were told we could find out about acceptance/denial anywhere from one month to 6 months after our interview.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the math quiz was so easy. I was stressed out about it but it is literally cross multiplying fractions, a few VERY basic derivatives, and adding and multiplying decimals... Oh and converting, mg, g, kg and such. Very simple math...
