What impressed you positively?

nothing

What impressed you negatively?

The attitude of the interviewers. They seemed tired as if they had not eaten anything for lunch. While i was answering the question, one of the interviewer was staring something on the wall. I ignored that and focused on the interview. Again, i saw that she was still staring at something and was not listening to anything i said. I had really high hope with this school since that was the only pharmacy school in South dakota. I felt really bad at the end of the interview that these people expect us to be professional while they acted very unprofessionally. I am still waiting on their decision. Anyway, they did not impress me at all. and i do not feel like going to this school where i know those people will be giving me lecture on being professional.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Had i known that they were too tired to even smile just once, i would never have scheduled for any time in late afternoon.

What are your general comments?

I did not like their approach. And knowing that they were the ones who would be lecturing in the class if i plan to attend this school made me almost sick.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
