What impressed you positively?

I didn't think I would like this school as much until I went on the interview. Driving to Austin was a long ride, but it was all worth it. I loved the atmosphere of this school and I truly enjoyed my interview experience. I came an hour before my interview time and talked to pharmacy students. They were still setting up, but they were open to any questions. There are refreshments as well so don't worry about being thirsty or hungry at the interview. I liked that they only had a 1-1 interview. I dislike group interviews with a passion so it wasn't stressed at all.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Remember to scope out the place first. The campus is big and there is construction so be sure to arrive a day before or just a few hours early so you are aware of the building. The interviewers will be writing down your responses so don't think that you're being ignored.

What are your general comments?

I love this school!!! I wish it wasn't so far or else I would love to attend.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
