How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, had family memebers ask me questions.

What impressed you positively?

The school is beautiful, and all of the students were very nice. The pharmacy building was quite new, and this seemed like a school thatI would be proud to earn my degree.

What impressed you negatively?

Everyone during the interview tells you how hard pharmacy school is, almost like they want to scare you.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should not have been nervous, and I shouldn't have practiced so much. They don't want your answers to sound rehearsed.

What are your general comments?

There were 4 people there to be interviewed including myself. We split into 2 groups and were interviewed by 2 professors. After the interviews we were given a tour of the building by a student. After to tour we had to write a short essay about the interview questions. Then we were finished. It went by so fast!
