How did you prepare for the interview?

Practice interview, SDN, USC website, Pfizer Career Guide, interview preparation workshops at my university.

What impressed you positively?

How friendly the faculty, pharmacy students, and fellow interviewees were. Interview was not too long or too short, although it did move along quickly.

What impressed you negatively?

Some pharmacy students present at the question and answer session seemed like they had better things to do. It made me wonder if they wanted to be there or if they were forced to be there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Surprisingly great experience. I was pretty nervous when I first got there, but the faculty and students tried hard to ease all the interviewees' nerves. The interview itself was more like a conversation than an interview. The interviewers seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say and were willing to share about their USC experiences.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
