No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to pharmacy school friends, looked over SDN questions, and made sure I had answers to the most common questions (why pharmacy, the doctor addicted to valium..etc)

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely friendly, and I love Austin.

What impressed you negatively?

The video that the pharmacy school kids had created- the camera was shaking all over the place, I was feeling really sick after it ended.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I shouldn't have worried as much as I did! It was really relaxed and the interviewers and pharmacy students are really nice and helpful.

What are your general comments?

Make sure you have questions!! Make a list of questions to bring (in one of those leather file things). Sometimes they are done asking you questions way ahead of time so you have to fill that time just asking questions. Also, don't be nervous! :)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
