✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN (a LOT of the ?'s from SDN were used at the interview, READ EVERY UT-interview post), and read their website

What impressed you positively?

How laid back it was. They had pharm students in the waiting area to talk and calm us down and answer any questions we had.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. Other than the wait b/t the interview and writing essay. If you had a 10am interview then you had to wait 1:30 for the writing portion, pretty long wait if you ask me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If I knew the interview questions would be the SAME ONES from the SDN website I would've prepared better answers.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview went well. Was I perfect? No. My best advice is, gain as much experience as possible (as a pharm tech) b/c it's something to talk about during the interview. Having a non-science degree was a huge plus for me b/c they were really intrigued with why I was making the switch and how I could use my non-science degree within the pharm-industry.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
