What are your general comments?
OK, forget all this low stress stuff from last year. They turned it up a notch this year. The questions were more indepth. I had Vanessa (admissions lady) interview me. She is actually apart of the admissions committee!! So all those times you email her prior to your visit, please know you're talking to the adcom indirectly! Since she knew my application inside and out from the admissions process, she asked me very specific questions. It was like an open-file interview. But it wasn't so bad because I practiced interviewing before. It got pretty stressful at first but they were both very nice. The pharmacist brought her own experience and asked for my opinion on that.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, feedback, PM's current students, researched the schools website, etc
What was the most difficult question?
Can you tell me about your GPA trend. I noticed here they weren't that high, especially in the science area. How do we know you are ready for our rigorous program?
What impressed you positively?
The public transportation was great in the area. Loved how everything is high-tech in the school, and how all the students loved it so far.
What impressed you negatively?
The "campus" is a FREAKING BUILDING! I drove by the night before to check it out. I literally missed the school a few times because I was expecting a real campus.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
As mentioned, the school is one 5-6 story building. They squeeze all 6 of their programs into 4 floors. Luckily pharmacy gets their own floor.
