How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, speaking with local pharmacist, practice interview questions

What impressed you positively?

You were provided with a goodie bag that was very nice throughout the duration of the whole process. The students were very nice and made you feel comfortable. The interview was really about getting to know you and not about the interviewers looking for a specific answer. The student interviewer also has a say in whether you are accepted or not. They also had an entire presentation on the financial aid part of pharmacy school.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that the student interviewer plays a larger portion in your acceptance than I originally thought.

What are your general comments?

Great school and an enjoyable experience overall. I was really anxious and nervous about it due to some of the negative things I had read and heard from past students. Those negative experiences seem to have been completely remedied.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
