✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I prepared for the interview by looking at the questions on this site, and then writing out answers on paper. Obviously you can't look at your answers in the interview, but it helped me have an idea about what I would say in the actual situation. I also explored the school's website.

What impressed you positively?

I really enjoyed the tour. Not only did I get to see what the school looks like, but I also had plenty of opportunities to ask current students questions about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

I can't think of anything.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Again, I can't think of anything, but anyone interviewing should probably know that the U of M basically founded and developed pharmaceutical care.

What are your general comments?

My interview was very laid back. He didn't even really have many specific questions for me. It was more like a conversation in which he'd occasionally ask me to be more specific if I was talking about something he was interested in. Some people I talked to said their interviews were a lot more formal, and some even said that every question that was on this site was asked of them. So I would prepare by going over all the questions from other ppl's previous interviews at this school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
