What are your general comments?
I was not impressed by this entire interview process--I was already tense and nervous about the interview, and this particular interviewer made it so much worse. What he said was right, but the way he said it was wrong--very wrong approach. I felt like I was in court, being interrogated by a lawyer! But in spite of all this, the campus itself is not all that bad--the exterior has a haunted and spooky feeling. But the buildings inside, the auditoriums, and classes, are very nice. Small cafeteria though!
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
If you were the editor of a pharmacy school journal, what would you write about?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, friends who are presently in pharmacy school.
What impressed you positively?
The enthusiasm of the tour guide; the dean was a very nice and pleasant person; and they were straight-forward about their accreditation, etc-didnt keep us in the dark about that.
What impressed you negatively?
Well, well, well......what can I say. Prior to the interview, I thought that I would only be turned off by the location. But the spooky campus was NOTHING compared to one of the interviewers. That interviewer was VERY arrogant, sarcastic, and rude! (For those who were with me--you know who I'm talking about!) This interviewer interrupted all of us in the middle of our responses--he had no manners whatsoever and was very very intimidating. Beware! The other 2 interviwers were very nice and pleasant people.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
