How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced with pharmacists I work with, looked up the school's information/mission, prepared script answers for easy questions (like "why do you want to be a pharmacist")

What impressed you positively?

The school is very new. They feed you lunch. They have pharmacy students available all day long to give the tour, answer questions, and relieve anxiety for the interviewees.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewers were not very welcoming/kind. I could tell they wanted to get it over with.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That during the 2010-2011 cycle, 900 people applied to the program, and only 400 were offered interviews...they are VERY selective. Also, the school is not in a great community...

What are your general comments?

Love the school, interview and program. I was accepted and my interview experience convinced me that I want to go there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
