How did you prepare for the interview?

Wrote down sample questions from SDN and thought of some others myself and prepared responses to them; researched the school and program; thought alot about my past employment, classes, and life experiences that led me to pursue pharmacy.

What impressed you positively?

EVERYONE is friendly and genuine, students, staff, and profs. You can tell they really care about their students here. Also, they give you cookies and water and a chance to chat with other interviewees during the 4 hour visit.

What impressed you negatively?

The student interviewer was friendly, though she seemed unprofessional; I didn't notice her take any notes regarding my responses to questions, and openly admitted to being a lazy student. Maybe she was trying to put me at ease.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had learned more about the types of clinical rotations offered so that I was prepared to ask questions about them.

What are your general comments?

Both interviews (one student and one with faculty member) were low stress, and they're really just trying to get to know you as a person. I wasn't prepared for one of the faculty member's questions b/c she discussed what she did for awhile and then asked me if I had any questions about what she described--so pay attention! It's a good idea to have a few questions ready. It doesn't hurt to request their card at the end if you can remember, to thank them later. Also, try to squeeze in things about yourself in your responses that you think are important--I felt like there was much I didn't get the chance to say when the interviews were over, and that left me uneasy.
