He then asked me about a college that I attended for PSEO, and I expanded on my schooling and how it has gotten me to where I am today.
What did you expect from/that would happen at the interview today? My answer was on the line of....I've done a lot of research on the U of MN, and I feel that I expected exactly what has happened thus far.... (better put, though!)
What questions do you have for me about the U of MN program?

What was the most interesting question?

None - the only questions asked were "what did you expect from the interview" and "do you have any questions for me about the program?"

What was the most difficult question?

None - it was mostly conversation just getting to know me. We connected, as we have so much in common and very similar passions in pharmacy and outside of pharmacy. It was the best interview I have had for any job, professional school, etc, etc, etc!!
