What impressed you positively?

How friendly people are in Kentucky.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the hotel wasn't anywhere near the pharmacy school.

What are your general comments?

The experience was pretty positive. It was done in three parts, a group interview, a social interview, and an individual interview. The group and social interviews were more stressful because even though I knew I shouldn't, I found myself comparing my answers to those of the others in my group. The interviewers mostly just wanted you to be comfortable and relax so that they can know you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
