Reading feedback at ISU, talking to friends.

What impressed you positively?

The current pharmacy students were very friendly and laid-back. They seemed like one big family.

Pocatello looks like it could be a pretty boring town.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I had known a little more of the school's history.

What are your general comments?

The interview day was a lot of hurry up and wait. We had three seperate meetings: one with the head of admissions to go over our coursework, one with two faculty members (the questions asked are above), and then a group interview with some of the current pharmacy students. We had a group activity/discussion and then wrote about the ethical issue we discussed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
