How did you prepare for the interview?

No responses

What impressed you positively?

The campus is beautiful and the admissions office was very nice and responsive. They let us know that they would try to get back to us quickly if we had other offers so we could make decisions.

What impressed you negatively?

I interviewed fairly early in their process and they seemed a little disorganized. The students there to greet the interviewees did not know they needed to take us on a tour nor did they know where several things on the tour were.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Pretty good interview. Nothing super unexpected. The situational questions were the hardest for me because I don't have a lot of experience but the admissions office told us before hand "we know you aren't a pharmacist... yet".

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Give interviews on weekends or school holidays!
