What are your general comments?
1st part = 30 minute interview. 2nd part = tour of the school (NO essay/writing assignment). Overall, my experience was GREAT. Cincinnati is one of the oldest pharmacy schools and has an outstanding reputation. My only gripe is that because it is an older school the building is a little outdated. The classrooms and computer rooms are nice and the mock pharmacy room is really big and has a lot to offer. I was really impressed with how happy students seemed to be (based on how many students are involved in pharmacy-related organizations). I would be so proud to attend UC.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about any community service/volunteer projects you are involved in.
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing interesting... I was asked very basic questions.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN feedback and prepared all of my interview questions ahead of time.
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about yourself (only because I hate this question).
What impressed you positively?
How friendly the staff was, there is NO dress code (you only have to wear your white coat during labs, formal meetings, etc), 100% passing rate on the licensing exam, the mock-pharmacy room, that most students seemed to be involved in one organization or another, and the fact that it is so easy to become an Ohio resident after my 1st year.
What impressed you negatively?
The building is a little dated (not so much the actual facilities) and there is currently a ton of construction going on because of the new medical center that is being built across the street. However, it will be beautiful when it is complete.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I would have relaxed more.
