How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I made sure I had a clear idea of why I want to be a pharmacist, and made sure to know how to explain

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very nice and personable. Mostly, they simply want to get to know you and your aspirations. It was very relaxed.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to be so nervous.

What are your general comments?

There were two separate interviews, each 30 minutes in length, one-on-one. One was open (they have seen your grades, CV, personal statement), and one was closed (they haven't see anything about you).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I would recommend removing the $95 supplemental application supplied by the college. Consider including it in the pharmCAS application or lowering the cost of it. The price of applying is too high when you take into account the pharmCAS fee, supplimental application fee, transcripts sent it, etc.
