SDN interview feedback. Not that helpful with so few responses for Pitt. Practiced answers allowed.

What impressed you positively?

Pitt is very established and has many connections with health systems and pharmacy organizations.

The 45 minutes with the Pitt students prior to the interview was kind of awkward since there seemed to be no structure to the q&a time or the tour of the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

All of the questions they were going to ask.

What are your general comments?

Pitt is Pitt. Good school but hard to get into. Good luck.
