How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interview at career center, read SDN interview feedback and read up on current events in pharmacy.

The interviewers made me feel extremely comfortable and welcome.

What impressed you negatively?

No formal presentations, I spent most of my time there waiting in the lobby.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There really isn't a need to get there super early.

What are your general comments?

We were taken into a classroom in approx. groups of ten to write our essays (45 min.). Then we were escorted back to the lobby to wait for our student interviewers to come get us. Following the interview, we were free to go. I got my acceptance letter five weeks after the interview.
