How did you prepare for the interview?

I read &quot;Healthcare Meltdown&quot; by Robert H. LeBow in order to prepare for pharmacy hot topics in today's society, but I wasn't even asked one question on any of that!!

What impressed you positively?

How friendly the pharmacy faculty members were to me.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that I was interviewed by 4 faculty members in a conference room all at the same time! Talk about intimidation!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How many interviewers I was going to have.

What are your general comments?

I was surprised by the fact that I was interviewed in a conference room with the dean of the pharmacy school and 4 other pharmacy faculty members. I am a pretty confident person and perform very well during interviews, but this interview, by far, has been the only one to have me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The staff were extremely friendly and they all asked their own questions. They just wanted to make sure that I can handle the workload and that I am truly pursuing pharmacy for the right reason. Overall, though, it was an enjoyable experience. I was their very first interviewee for the very first interview day for the upcoming school year. You get to pick your interview date...pick it as early as possible because getting into pharmacy school is extremely competitive!!!
