How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, looked at Loma Linda's school website to learn about their mission and goals, went over my applcation and list of activities

What impressed you positively?

The dean and admissions staff were very nice and helpful, the interview was pretty calm and laid back

What impressed you negatively?

the student interviewer kept saying pharmacy school was very hard and stressful. also the pharmacy part of the campus was fairly small because it is a fairly new program.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The first thing I was asked in my interview was if I had any questions. That was the first thing asked so have some questions ready.

What are your general comments?

We had an orientation first with a talk with the dean and a financial aid person. Then we watched a short video and ate lunch informally. I just chatted with the other students that were there for an interview while eating. Then we were given a tour by a second year student. Finally, we did our interviews. I was interviewed by 3 faculty members. I just answered their questions. I didn't think i did really well or anything just average but I got in. So my advice is just be yourself. Also, they are very prompt about getting back to you about whether you are accepted or not. They said they would get back to me in about 10 days. I was emailed in 5 days.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
