How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed my PharmCAS application, looked over the OSU College of Pharmacy website, and read through the interview feedback posted here.

What impressed you positively?

The assistant dean of the college provided us with a very thorough overview of the college and the curriculum before we went off to our individual interviews. He gave me an excellent feel for what it will be like to attend their PharmD program, and I could tell that he is extremely happy/proud to be a part of the OSU pharmacy community.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Two things: 1. If you are an out of state student, you can apply for Ohio residency and pay the in-state tuition after your first year in the program. 2. It started raining before the tour. Since we walked over to see the new rec center, it would have been nice to have an umbrella!

What are your general comments?

My experience was relatively stress free, and I was able to learn a lot about the program during my visit. Also, they get back to you about the admissions committee's decision VERY FAST! I interviewed on a Saturday, and they emailed me to let me know I had been accepted the following Thursday!!! :-)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
