✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practice with other students in mock type interviews.

What impressed you positively?

Nothing really. The area around the school is so empty and depressing.

What impressed you negatively?

Interview seemed pointless. It's basically who can answer the most questions since the questions were thrown out to the group rather than asking each person individually. I answered the majority of the questions, but there were others who answered like one question. It was more like a group discussion, rather than an interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be aware that questions in the interview are geared more toward what type of person you are rather than your knowledge of what the pharmacy profession is about.

What are your general comments?

I had three other interviews and this was the worst. Only because this school's location looked depressing and the questions in the interview seemed to be irrelavant and pointless. Some of the students I met there didn't seem that happy being there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
