How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

Everything! The city of Amarillo really isn't as desolate as people say it is. The new pharmacy building really impressed me and the friendliness of the admin office was such a nice change from other schools. It had snowed heavily 2 days before my interview day, and Mike Schwettmann personally drove to the airport to pick up some stranded interviewees when their taxi refused to pick them up in the ice & snow!

What impressed you negatively?

nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Your group interview REALLY depends on who's interviewing you. Our group had 2 very tough professors and it was VERY tense. From what previous interviewees told me, it would be a free response type of situation. Ours was not like that at all!! The professors came in a started pointing at people & calling names...even asking us to throw people under the bus and name our weakest members. Everyone in our group left staring at each other in disbelief! In the end, it was a great learning experience, but man was it rough!

What are your general comments?

Tech really impressed me with their campus, curriculum, and general hospitality. UT was always my #1 choice, but after interviewing with Tech, I very quickly decided that I wanted to spend my next four years as a Raider. After being accepted to UT last week, I promptly turned them down...something I never thought I'd do in a million years!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

maybe include some information on where to park on the day of the interview in our interview invitation
