SDN, read the school website, talked with my pharmacist who graudated from the college 2 years prior.

What impressed you positively?

The interview was much more relaxed than the other interview I had been on. The secretary was very nice. Since I was over an hour early, she let me do the writing section while I waited for the student and professor to get done with class.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The faculty were unsure as to whether I would be going to their Winchester Campus or their Joint program campus if accepted.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What pharmacogenomics is. How their program is the first to start teaching about it and it's practice in pharmacy. How they have a joint program with George Mason University and some of their classes are through telecommunication broadcasts.

What are your general comments?

I arrived an hour early, and did the written section of the interview. There were two choices for the essay. I chose the topic of: Do you think personal values and professional values should ever be separated? If so when, why, etc. Then after completing that section, I had my interview with a student and facutly member. The interview went really well, I wasn't nervous and they talked to me as if I was one of their friends or colleagues. It's important to talk back and keep the conversation going so it's not just a "question answer" interview. The more you make it into a conversation, the better you will be scored. I would say it's important to emphasize things that the interviewer says that shows you understand exactly what it is they are talking about. During my interview, the faculty member told me " remember, there are no right or wrong answers here, these questions don't really apply to how you would be as a pharmacist in the real world". When you are in your interview, be aware of these little traps, once you answer a question, don't change it just because of a statement like this, just reinforce your answer again. BTW, I just got my e-mail of acceptance into this school. So Good Luck on your interviews!
