How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read current event stuff, Read about the school and pharmacy as a career. The school also provides some sample questions it would probably be wise to go through and answer those. Also know why you want to be a pharmacist (For me it was easy access to all kinds of drugs)

What impressed you positively?

UIC is a great school, I think the way it was organized with the help of the students and everything, it was great.

What impressed you negatively?

basically they line you up in a room, and pick out the best looking people, I was selected so it didn't really bother me, but I feel bad for the other people.... J/k I really don't have any complaints, neither do the ladies.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that it is hands down better and more organized than any other school I interviewed at (probably b/c I got in, if I wasn't accepted I probably would have thought differently.

What are your general comments?

GRUELING!!!! BE PREPARED!!!.... J/k relax, you received an interview bc they like something about you. Just be yourself. I think it is an important day, but it's not like they're taking you to the chair. Try to keep a clear head, although I don't advise getting hammered the night before and forgetting everything you prepared for. Most importantly you are the MAN (or WOMAN), for getting an interview. Pat yourselves on the back, you will do fine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
