how would you convince ppl who do not believe in western medicine?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

where do you see pharmacy 40 YRS from now? (i think this is the worst question). ppl can see where pharmacy will be 5-10 yr from now and that will require critical thinking. 40 yr from now..i think that's more of a joke. no one knows that and it's not critical thinking...it's like use your fantasy and tell me if you see robots working for us. So stupid..

What impressed you positively?

the new building and the professor who interviewed me

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

UMB give off very differernt vibe and energy. They are not at all humble. They know they are in a good school and very proud of it. The area around the school is very new york city like. It's dirty and full of people. candidates were more competitive than friendly.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that it is ok for students who are not scheduled to interview me can join in and ask me questions. I had one of the guy joined the interview and I was not pleased.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

again, like i said, i was scheduled to interview with a UMB student but I had another UMB student joined the group without an advanced notice. I think he volunteered to be there. And the school did not have a problem with that. I do not think that is professional. My designated interviewer did not get to ask my very many questions. and the additional interviewer asked me many silly questions.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

please make sure students who are not scheduled to interview with the candidates are not in the room
