What was the most interesting question?

Take a position on Plan B from both the side of a woman filling the perscription and from the side of a pharmasist who does not want to fill the perscription.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

What does it mean to be a professional? (I know it sounds strange but think of a typical answer in your head. Now answer and have another interviewer tell you your mechanic should also be trustworthy, a good member of the community and all the other things you just said. So then they asked me how a pharmacist and a mechanic differ.)

What impressed you positively?

The school is really beautiful and the administrative assistant in the waiting room was really great.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewers were very unfriendly, including an Associate Dean who I had previously thought very highly of.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

For years I had thought KU was the only school for me. If I had known the school would be so difficult and the interview process would be so cold I would have applied to more schools. Meeting 5 of the faculty members, one for the second time, I question if I would want to attend the university at all.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interviewers were passing me file around and reading it as I was talking. Even when I tried to lighten the mood, there was not a single smile or friendly glance. When I answered, another professor would challange or just dismiss my answer. For one of the questions I apparently did not understand the answer they were looking for. They asked the questions 3 more times with the exact phrasing, much like a person who talks louder and louder to a non-English speaking person. I tried not to visibly show my frustration and be friendly and open but I was never given the opportunity to showcase my personality and ideals, the very thing I assumed the interview was for.
