How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reread my essays, read the schools mission statement tried to relax and not be too nervous.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I really liked the intimacy and small numbers. There are aproximatly 200 total pharm d students at the school at once and the general science building had a cozy high school feel to it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Like pretty much everyone else says, the location is just awful. Lots of shabby, decaying buildings and no signs of civilization on the island. Also, the dorms for students were very small and gross.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It would have been nice to try and visit the school before the interview. It is very easy to get lost on the island since there are so many detours.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was raining and on the drive over to the school, I remember thinking man this looks like a third world country. The island is seriously in that bad of shape. But once i met some professors and deans, i was impressed by their ability to sell the school. its really nice that classes are so small and you are broken up into groups of 10 once the year starts so you can learn together. The interview itself wasn't very stressful because it was a group interview. For the questions that were kinda funky, I just sat back and listened to a couple of people respond before I took a stab at it. But you definatly need to speak up and be assertive at times. All in all, I would come to this school but its not my first choice. I figure if you're going to pay over 30,000 a year at least go to a school that people have heard of (like 'SC).
