How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over questions on this site

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty were very friendly and really seemed to love their school (it showed when they gave tours and simply talked more about the school).

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing - Maryland knows they're a top 10 pharmacy school but really made the interview process more about you and who you are.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Group project is nothing to stress about - it tests how you interact with others more than anything else. Be sure to bring a pencil or pen for the essay portion. There aren't any snacks provided, so be sure to bring some light snacks and water.

What are your general comments?

Simply put, amazing school. Admissions committee was quick with responding after email. There's no other school that tops this one!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None- admissions office was very prompt and friendly!
