Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The faculty, alumni, staff and students. Out of the 3 different schools I have attended for interviews, Western's staff/faculty/etc have been the nicest and most welcoming. The interview was so relaxing, they really made me feel so comfortable. I enjoyed the brief tour/intro about the school (they offer things that other pharm schools don't... like working with other health students from different fields, and other stuff). I also like that fact that the students do 1.5 years of rotations.

What impressed you negatively?

The location and the overall campus. Some money should be spent to make things look nicer.

What are your general comments?

Got there super early, waited for the faculty and the rest of the students to arrive. They staff handed out booklets and name tags. We all went to the P1 room, and were given a brief intro about the program (helpful and interesting). We were separated into 2 groups. One group left for the tour and writing sample while the other group stayed behind for the interviews. We were given snacks while we waiting and we had a chance to chat with the current students. One of our interviewers would come in and call our name when it was time, and then took us to our interview room. It was 2 on 1. Very relaxing interview (but I heard some people's was a little tougher). After our group was done interviewing we went to another room where we were provided with what we should expect in the next couple of weeks (accepted, rejected, hold, alternative) and a man gave a VERY informative speech about financial aid. Then we had our writing sample. Out of the 3 schools I have interviewed, this was the hardest writing question/sample. 8 working days later, I was accepted! Very happy!
