How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at the interview feedback here on SDN and had an idea of what my answer would be, although I didn't want to sound too rehearsed.

What impressed you positively?

The interview was very laid back. I spent almost an hour with a faculty member who wasn't a pharmacist and he made sure we spent time getting to know each other before he started formally asking me questions. I felt very comfortable and relaxed the entire time.

What impressed you negatively?

The days events ran a little over schedule. These things can be unpredictable but most people had tight travel plans.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Bring a water bottle! It will give you a mini "break" in between questions and allow you to compose yourself.
