What are your general comments?

It was a lot of hurry and then wait for a few hours. I had a interview with 2 faculty members and we just talked about football and rock climbing for 45 minutes. All they asked was why I wanted to be a pharmacist and what do I like to do in my spare time. After that we had an applicant group interview and 3 current students asked us questions. Then we had a group discussion and we individually wrote an essay on the ethical situation. All the applicants, students, and faculty were friendly and we all hung out and had fun during our breaks. It was a long day but very relaxed compared to other interviews.
