✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reading articles, asking the pharmacists that I worked for a few questions, mock interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The receptionists were really nice. They gave me water, which was truly needed. It was a calming thing to have.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The essay question was harder than I thought. My friend, had something like, "who is your hero" or "what is the one skill that you will like to hone and develop further"? Mine was, "Comparing the rural and urban population, how do you think their perception of the role of a pharmacist differ"? Basically compare and contrast the two. I had 15 minutes which was just enough time.

What are your general comments?

It was pleasant. It was a closed file interview, so they knew nothing about me. I basically I had to sell myself in the time given. It was supposed to be 30 minutes but I took 45 minutes. I think it lasted that long because of the questions that I asked at the end. They didn't stop me at all. Supposedly one interviewer plays the good cop and other one plays the bad cop.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
