No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read my essays and read through articles about pharmacy and the healthcare field. I also read almost everything on the school's web pages.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions people were very friendly and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt my interviewer was tired and annoyed by the time he got to me. I was the last of his 3 interviews of the day. He sometimes stared at the cieling while I was talking or asking him a question.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't know UCSF invented clinical pharmacy.

What are your general comments?

It was just ok. I couldn't get a good read on either of the interviewers, and I felt like either crying or throwing up afterward. It could hae been because I was so nervous, though. All it all, it was just plain bizarre.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
