study the SND feedback, don't take up too much time answering the questions because I heard there were some students who didn't even get a chance to answer, and just go with the flow. This interview was actually a really good experience for me and I think others enjoyed it as well.

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Introduce yourself (where you are from, where you got your degrees, or where you plan to get them, have you worked/volunteered in a pharmacy, etc?)
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN interview feedback, going over answers with multiple people, and talking to my boss who graduated from Midwestern.

I wish we could have seen more of the classrooms and lab spaces.
