Nothing

There was only 15 minutes to complete the writing sample.

What are your general comments?

It was a great experience. As stated with previous interviews, the key is to mingle with the Pharmacy students and staff members as well as the other students interviewing. You will be one of about 20 students all interviewing at the same time. The key is to be yourself and ask questions. The entire proces takes 3 hours. You have a brief introduction of the program, a tour of the school, two 15 minutes interviews (one with a faculty member and the oter with a student), 15-minute writing sample, and about 30 minutes to mingle with faculty, students, and other interviewees. I was really impressed with the school and the interview process. It was actually an enjoyable experience. (This is from a person who HATES inteviews!)
