✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback and forums, read Midwesterns forums and website, made a dry run to the campus and did a self-guided walk around it, called the adcom regarding my supplemental materials, and made a packet of additional information about my background to give to them.

What impressed you positively?

The dean and the faculty are all very passionate about educating new, competent pharmacists. It seems like you could never get &quot;lost in the crowd&quot; there. It is a very intimate campus, which is the polar opposite of the three other colleges I have attended.

What impressed you negatively?

The campus might be too small for me, but I won't know for sure until I am actually there studying. The cost is shocking my system.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everyone I spoke to began their careers teaching at UIC and now teach at Midwestern. I thought that was very interesting.

What are your general comments?

It's really not an interview. It is all about that writing sample and allowing you to get comfortable with the school and the faculty/staff. Don't be nervous.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
