How did you prepare for the interview?

Look at SDN and school's website. Also practiced the interview with my friends and family members.

What impressed you positively?

The pharmacy school building is new and very modern. All professors and students there were really nice and friendly, whcih made me very comfortable.

What impressed you negatively?

School didn't give us any formal campus tour (you have to ask the students to give you a tour if you want. But this is optional and I didn't ask since I was kind of nervous and nobody asked that.)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My interview was on Saturday (noon) and it was very bad traffic driving from Orange county. I left my house more than 2hrs before the interview time, but I was almost late to interview. Fortunately, I arrived there 10 min early but I was very nervous for the whole time.
