What impressed you negatively?

The small building and limited facilities - the pharmacy school is located in the basement of the building. There is just 3 rooms for lectures and a lab. The tour took 5 mins - that should be self-explanatory.

there's a 1 page writing sample - You're given about 20 mins. It was "define and discuss your personal mission". It'll take you about 10 mins - not too bad.

I stressed out too much before hand - but I had nothing to worry about. It was a relaxing atmosphere and the administrative staff were helpful. Just be yourself. I got accepted so I must have done something right.
