✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SND, mock interviews, knew my application inside and out, educated myself about Pacific and the program

What impressed you positively?

Enthusiasm for the success of the student, new facilities, small student to teacher ratio. I like the "small" feel so the fact the campus is one building was a positive component for me.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing much. I was hoping the interviewers would have asked more questions about my pharmacy experience, or about myself as a person, or about what I could bring to the program or about how I could impact the field of Pharmacy. I tried to integrate those topics into the basic questions that were asked. This didn't give me a huge negative impression; I just worry that that they didn't get a chance to know me better.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

The day was pretty good. I had the first interview time at noon, so I didn't have the long downtime that many people did. The question and answers sessions could have been more in depth. I think many people didn't know what to ask. The essay was a breeze and the interview flew by. There was really no reason to worry. Everyone was very kind.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
