How did you prepare for the interview?

Second time interviewing with this school, so I kind of knew what to expect. However, the interviewers were not "the same".

What impressed you positively?

Nothing

What impressed you negatively?

How uncomfortable I felt. I felt as if they were challenging my decision to change careers. I also felt they didn't take into consideration that my previous career involved having a pharmacy in my clinic (meaning I am have SOME pharmacy experience...my degree is NOT beneath pharmacy).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was be so uncomfortable (may a just cancelled).

What are your general comments?

Great school, but I did not feel comfortable at all. It put a damper on my desire to attend if accepted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
