What impressed you positively?

I really liked going out for lunch with the students. Since we were outside of the Pharmacy building, I really felt like I had the opportunity to get to know them with out the pressure of being formal for an interview.

What impressed you negatively?

Dean Perry yelled at many of the interviewees for having their schedules on their phones instead of on paper. She also yelled at people for having more than 3 questions prepared. Your interviewers will expect you to ask more than 3 questions!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Get there early!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It is great that Dean Perry is so responsive to emails. However; her emails are convoluted. I frequently have to ask my colleagues for second opinions to understand her emails, and my colleagues agree that the emails are very confusing.
