What impressed you positively?

Pharmacy building is in great, easy location to find. ISU pharmacy faculty and students were very friendly and courteous.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

There are a ton of one way streets by ISU. It was very confusing and different. The city architect planner totally failed!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are only a dozen or so slots for out of staters. ISU received over 400 applications for fall 2010, interviewed approx. 130 and accepted 70 total students. Therefore, in order to get accepted as an out of stater you need an over-the-top GPA including prereq. GPA along with strong recommendations, resume, and interview score.

What are your general comments?

If you are invited to an interview, prepare for a long day! Although the interview process is well organized and lasts only half a day, you can expect an open file interview, a student group interview, an ethical question group discussion while being observed by ISU pharm students & faculty admissions personnel, and lastly writing an essay about the ethical question posed to your group. It was a grueling process. I'm not sure if it was because this was only my second interview that I was so nervous or if it was the newness of what to expect for the interview, but I was way nervous throughout the day.
