How did you prepare for the interview?

The interview itself was a conversation. It did not feel like an interview at all. So calm your anxieties and just be open. Don't forget to relate what you're saying to pharmacy though, that is the reason why we are there!

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The event was organized extremely well. The facility is very new and high tech. It is connected to the medical school and library through an indoor bridge. The faculty was beyond impressive in their research and speaking skills. Everyone was supremely nice and the Pharm D.program at Madison just seems like it is simply the best.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should have had a big breakfast

What are your general comments?

So pleased with this interview. Madison quickly became my first choice after the visit.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None! Everything was simply perfect. Except, maybe include a longer break for lunch. It was a long day and I got really hungry about halfway through.
