How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school's website.

What impressed you positively?

The new building they are going to have starting 2007!

What impressed you negatively?

FIVE YEAR PROGRAM! Even if you have a lot of classes out of the way ... you still have to go the five years. You just won't have jam packed semesters with 18 credit hours. Instead you will probably have 12-15 hours.

What are your general comments?

When I walked in I got a name tag and had to fill out some basic info. about myself. Then all of the students being interviewed that day had to go downstairs for the essay portion. The essay question was: name a time when you encountered a problem or situation when you had to ask a lot of q's. What was the problem/situation? How did you go about resolving it? What did you learn? What was the outcome? After the essay portion, all of the studnets went to a room to meet with the three interviewers (student, faculty member, and pharmacist). They each asked one question. After they asked their q's they asked if I had any q's. That was pretty much it. The people that interviewed me were friendly. That made the interview process much easier!
