What are your general comments?
We introduced ourselves, sat at a big table, and were asked to write a short (1-2 page) essay on a question. We each had a different question. Then, I was taken back to a different room for my interview for 15 minutes, returned to the room we started in, and the girl went for her interview. While I was being interviewed, she conversed with the 3 pharmacy students present, and I did the same while she was gone. We were encouraged to ask any questions about UGA and the pharmacy experience.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What kind of job experience do you have?
What was the most interesting question?
"What does control mean to you?" (luckily my sensei in my Karate class had recently lectured us on "control" and the benefits of Karate in that aspect)
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read about others' interview experiences on this studentdoctor.net website and thought about the types of questions they were likely to ask me and how I would answer them.
What was the most difficult question?
What extracurricular activities (clubs/groups) do you participate in? (I have lots of hobbies and join groups but they're not pharmacy-related and they don't entail alot of formal participation)
What impressed you positively?
The interviewers were very nice even if I was so nervous at them not liking me for some reason. The 3 pharmacy students that were there were also really nice and informative, very down-to-earth, joking around and such.
What impressed you negatively?
They asked me so many questions I just kinda felt like I was being interrogated, but they said they were trying to determine if I had "insight." I just answered the questions as comfortably as I could, in a conversational manner. (the only interviewees were one girl and I, so they said our interviews would probably be longer than the previous day's interviews).
