What impressed you positively?

Although they're Seventh Day Adventist, they're actually very open to all religions. Although the pharmacy building is small and it's shared with nursing, the campus itself is pretty big. I passed by the dental and medical school building and it's HUGE...not to mention the great food they give you during the interview. Veggie food is fine with me.

What impressed you negatively?

The parking is absolutely horrible. There was an accident right before I hit the school so I had to detour. I got desperate so I parked at a place with gazillion rocks and pebbles. DO NOT PARK at Lot U if you can help it. It is so far away.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It'll be impressive if you know about their 7 core values. It's listed on their website somewhere.

What are your general comments?

Interview groups are very, very small. There were only 7 of us at my group. You get interviewed with 2 faculty members: I had the associate dean and an associate professor. They didn't have any situational questions (thank goodness) but mostly the basic ones. They want to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into and that you fit their core values. Don't stress. They seem to interview on fridays, meet on the monday right after to make a decision. I got a call that same monday. =0)
