How did you prepare for the interview?

Practice the usual questions: tell me about yourself, why pharmacy, tell me a situation in which you had a conflict with someone else. Also, SDN's interview feedback was really helpful! It does hurt that this was my 5th pharmacy school interview.

What impressed you positively?

The students. The tour that they gave was really helpful especially since I really got a chance to talk to them about their experience. They also have a nice gym with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge while people are running of the treadmills.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The facility wasn't great. The whole building was for all students to share. There was one floor dedicated to the pharmacy students.

What are your general comments?

UCSF is my top school so I was really nervous going into my interview. I didn't review any questions before my interview because I was afraid it would make me even more anxious. The essay was harder than all the other schools I had interviewed at before but it may just be my group. The interview was very laidback and conversation. Many questions were follow up questions to my answers. While other people had 35 minute interviews, I had a 20 minute one and the interview told me in advance. I came out feeling great because I felt like I showed them my true self. I didn't feel like I sounded rehearsed. The asked about my extracurriculars and I answered it with excitement and obvious passion. At the end, when they asked if there was anything else I wanted to tell them about myself, I took this opportunity to tell them about much I wanted to go to UCSF and why they should pick me. I also prepared questions to ask them at the end. I'm writing this almost two months after my interview. I found out two weeks ago that I was accepted.
