No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Rested, had breakfast, conversated with the P1 students ahead of time, and tried to stay as relax as possible. The food they provided took a lot of stress off.

What impressed you positively?

How enthusiastic the staff was and how friendly everybody was. Also, they had research presentations on the effects of a pass/no pass system (which they are) in comparison to a grading system. That was neat!

What impressed you negatively?

The building was very small, but given that this is a new pharmacy school and that the other professional programs and highly ranked, I think it's not that big of a deal.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How long it would take to travel from the main city, Portland, to Hillsboro. I expected the travel to be short.

What are your general comments?

It felt very relaxed and stress free. The people that interviewed me were very nice and welcoming. It didn't feel like they were bombarding me with questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
