No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Touro Website, read Pharmacy Organization websites, reviewed interview books, mock interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the faculty, the incorporation of technology into the classroom, and the collegiate attitude of the current students.

What impressed you negatively?

There is quite a bit of construction on Mare Island, but the campus was not as bad as I expected from other posts about the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The essay/writing sample is the first thing done when you arrive. I did not have alot of time to work at the beginning gitters/nervousness. As the interview progresses you become more relaxed.

What are your general comments?

The essay was the first part, and took up about 50 minutes, (the topic related to natural disasters and pharmacy preparation for patients) We talked with the dean and the admissions director proir to the interview. The interview lasted an hour, and was in a relaxed conversational group format. Very conversational style and related to the interviewee as a person rather than about the profession and knowledge of the school. Very Easygoing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
