What are your general comments?

We were all taken into a room (the one we would be having our classes at) and given a brief intro about the school and the schedule of the day. Then, we broke up into two groups. One group had interviews while the other group had the essay to write. I was in the first interview group. While you wait for your interview and after you are done, you have the opportunity to ask current students any questions. At my interview, I had a faculty member and a student both interview me at the same time. The interviewer introduced himself, then the student, and then they asked you questions. At the end, you are given a chance to ask them question. They really just wanted to know you as a person and it very much felt like a conversation. Essay question was non pharmacy related. Later, they had a guy come in and talk about financial aid. At the end of the day, you can either leave early or go on a tour of the campus given by a current student.
