How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on the school and the area of pharmacy I want to get into. Also went through all of the interview feedback question on SDN which was probably the most helpful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The area was exactly as I had pictured it and everyone was incredibly nice and helpful. It felt very informal and comfortable. The faculty, staff, and students were very upfront with all the information we needed and answered all of our questions very thoroughly.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of parking. Other than that, nothing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt pretty well prepared because of all the feedback from SDN forums and interview section.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

At the time of the interview, I felt it started out well and went downhill. I thought afterwards that I didn't say what I wanted to in regards to why I wanted to do pharmacy and why I felt that this school was my right fit. I think a lot of it was nerves though and they take that into account.
