What was the most difficult question?

Honestly, the interview was very conversational and didn't feel like any of the questions were difficult. If I had to choose one in particular, maybe why UNC?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over the feedback from prior interviews on this website, prepared answers to questions, made sure I had questions for them, and tried to get information from the second year students about the interviewers so I could ask them questions about their lives, research, etc. People seem to have a knack for talking about themselves.

What impressed you positively?

Chapel Hill is an awesome college town and UNC is a great university overall. The pharmacy building was top of the line as far as technology and resources are concerned, and you will see that when you tour the school. The labs seemed to all have brand new equipment and the main lecture room had cameras, microphones at each seat, and big T.V.'s in the back for the teleconference students at Elizabeth City.

What impressed you negatively?

Not really much of anything. It was pretty much a positive visit, but if I had to say one thing that was negative it was paying $6 to park my car in one of the hospital parking garages and having to walk 0.25 mile to the pharmacy building in a suit.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Arrived at the pharmacy building and received a folder and name tag in the forer, then was led to a lecture room with the rest of the applicants. We were introduced to 5 PY2's and were allowed to ask them any question about the program except admissions related things. They were very knowledgeable about things and were very candide about how things were for them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
