What are your general comments?

It was just a little too early for me (715AM), but overall a great experience. I found the essay portion more difficult than the interview when I thought it would be the other way around. If you can answer the 3 specific questions below, then you will pretty much be prepared for the interview. Aside from the questions below I was also asked: If a supervisor implemented a policy that you did not agree with, what would you do? What would you do if you were working on a group project and two of your members were not participating? How do you relieve your stress? Why do you believe you are a better candidate that the others? What is a positive and negative for clinical & retail pharmacy (since I've had exposure to both)? Be prepared to ask them questions at the end of your interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
